I saw that the 'dart' language was not present in userdiff.c's list of languages.
Yes, adding a new language entry to userdiff.c is a valid contribution
and a good way to get familiar with Git’s workflow and review process.
But be aware that it's at the challenging end of the spectrum for a
microproject, if not already too much. Microprojects focus on the patch
and review workflow, while the solution itself is usually fairly simple.
A new language in userdiff.c isn't necessarily of that kind. Among other
things, we expect that the code change is accompanied by test cases.
