These patches bring a few improvements to the contrib/diff-highlight Perl script. The major improvement is done in patch 3/4, which improves diff-highlighting accuracy by implementing a recursive line matching algorithm.

Please note that I have limited experience with Perl, so there may be better ways to do things. (Let me know if that is the case!)

Jonathan Lebon (4):
  diff-highlight: add `less -r` to cmd in README
  diff-highlight: factor out prefix/suffix functions
  diff-highlight: match up lines before highlighting
  diff-highlight: add maxhunksize config option
