Um ah ... could you explain what you mean by inter and intra file diffs? Google found a three year old message by Andrew Morton, discussing inter and intra file fragmentation on ext2/ext3 file systems and the find_group_dir() routine. I don't think that's what you had in mind ;). When I run the 'diff' command, it usually between two files, not between two parts of a file. So I'd have thought inter file diffs were easier. Clearly, I don't git it. -- I won't rest till it's the best ... Programmer, Linux Scalability Paul Jackson 1.650.933.1373, 1.925.600.0401
