Without it, "git diff" on 64-bit machines can run 100x times slower than it should be on unfortunate input. Many thanks go to Jim Mayering for giving an easy to reproduce initial problem report, and Linus and Davide Libenzi to quickly come up with a fix. Unfortunately I do not have access to any RPM capable machine other than an x86-64 right now hence there is no RPM for x86-32 for this release yet (but 32-bit machines do not need this fix to begin with, so it's Ok). ---------------------------------------------------------------- There is only one change since v1.4.2.3.
