Description
It would be really useful if the target line from a source link is highlighted.
Example:
Source link: source:tags/2.3.0/Gemfile#L3
The 3rd line should be highlighted:
This could be done with pure css. To make the patch complete also app/views/common/_diff.html.erb and app/views/repositories/annotate.html.erb with appropriate css-modifications should be applied.

UPDATE: There is no need to patch also app/views/common/_diff.html.erb or app/views/repositories/annotate.html.erb, because we can't set a link to a line of diff code.

You are right about app/views/common/_diff.html.erb which doesn't have the "clickable line #'s". app/views/repositories/annotate.html.erb on the other hand actually has the same 'line #' representation as app/views/common/_file.html.erb so in that way it would make sense to also apply this patch to this view.
Edit by MTE: of course you are right that we can't link to a line in the annotation view...

Patch committed in r11858, thanks! I've changed the annotate view for consistency. There's no magic link available we can still link to it manually.
