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. -- Hannes
