Is it possible that we could integrate the "diff" algorithm into git, and get rid of the dependency on an external GNU diff? It would also make the portability problems go away (ie old diff's being broken). It would also potentially speed up the normal built-in diff a lot, since we wouldn't have to execute a whole other program to generate a diff, just call a helper function the way we do for xdiff.. Unreasonable? Linus
