[PATCH 0/3] xdiff: speedup histogram diff

Histogram is the only diff algorithm not to call xdl_classify_record(). Calling xdl_classify_record() means that it is not necessary to use xdl_recmatch() when comparing lines, all that is necessary is to compare the hash values. This gives a 7% reduction in the runtime of "git log --patch" when using the histogram diff algorithm.

Phillip Wood (3):
  diff histogram: intern strings
  xdiff: avoid unnecessary memory allocations
  xdiff: simplify comparison
