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
