Thank you for sharing this. I was sure it should be possible, but I was 
not motivated enough to configure hunk headers for elisp and org. It 
seems even a shorter regexp works well
	xfuncname = "^\\*+ .*"

Git may find ~/.config/git/attributes without explicit configuration

I am unsure that it affects diff as well. Once I have experienced noisy 
diff on attempt to refile a subtree. Finally I did it by moving headings 
by small portions. It allowed to confirm changes during each steps.

Perhaps you were unlucky to fetch the page during server maintenance. 
Firefox-106 renders the page with active NoScript.

The approach is documented in the "Defining a custom hunk-header" 
section of gitattributes(5).

The value of the page is that it has a recipe for elisp (indented 
`cl-defstruct' is not handled though).
