Subject: Searching explanation of different diff algorithms
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:24:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201309250924.15741.thomas@koch.ro> (raw)

Is there any explanation available of the different merrits and drawbacks of 
the diff algorithms that Git supports?

I'm not satisfied with the default diff but have enough processing power for a 
slower algorithm that might produce diffs that better show the intention of the 
edit.

Thank you, Thomas Koch
