Subject: GNU diff and git diff - difference on myers algorithm?
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 11:34:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAB=NE6XRnKAY6t+dxT7vO_4wqngXvULh-CqezEAs2r99FkNCTg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Based on a cursory review of the git code I get the impression that
GNU diff and git 'diff' do not share any code for the possible diff
algorithms. I'm in particularly curious more about the default "myers"
algorithm. I can take time to do a precise code review of the
algorithms used on both GNU diff and git but if someone can already
vet for any differences that'd be appreciated as it would save time.

 Luis
