Subject: 'Minimal' diff-algorithm producing a different result than 'myers', 'patience' and 'histogram' ones
Message-ID: <CAAg4OeLuR9NY1NaEsjqd4hbuLqZuUo7j+BsVvQT37APY_QEYUQ@mail.gmail.com>

Good day,

I'm trying to compare 4 different git-diff algorithms and the
'minimal' one is the most vague and non-obvious. The documentation
says "Spend extra time to make sure the smallest possible diff is
produced." - that's all.

By any chance, is there any example of diff when 'minimal' algorithm
produces a different result than a 'myers', 'patience' and 'histogram'
ones?

PS: in case of a question like 'why do you need that?' - it's for
testing purposes of some git wrapper library.
