As discussed on Trac-dev, this could indeed be improved.
Proposed interface:
(o) Show ___ lines around each change ( ) Show the changes in full context
Another advantage of dissociating the two would be that we won't change the saved contextlines information in the session when occasionally selecting the "show in full context" variant. Also, as this is a potentially expensive way to show a changeset, better let the user make that choice each time he feels he need it, instead of saving that option.

The first patch was a tad bit on the complicated side, and not quite ideal for several reasons:
- The "full context" setting was stored in the session data, contrary to what was suggested in comment:2.
- Using JavaScript is not really necessary.
- Displaying a warning for invalid values is only disturbing, and requires the ugly hack in the second patch to force rendering. We can just treat any invalid value the same as "all".
So I have reworked the patch and made it to conform to comment:2, together with some cleanup. The result is [9322].

Would be nice if the (diff) link in the file browser would activate this mode.
It already is: simply enter e.g. 'all' for the number of lines of context, or the empty string.
And as surprising as it seems, it's even documented in TracChangeset#DiffViews.
