`--diff-algorithm=(patience|minimal|histogram|myers)`::
|
|
Choose a diff algorithm. The variants are as follows:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
`default`;;
|
|
`myers`;;
|
|
The basic greedy diff algorithm. Currently, this is the default.
|
|
`minimal`;;
|
|
Spend extra time to make sure the smallest possible diff is
|
|
produced.
|
|
`patience`;;
|
|
Use "patience diff" algorithm when generating patches.
|
|
`histogram`;;
|
|
This algorithm extends the patience algorithm to "support
|
|
low-occurrence common elements".

|
|
For instance, if you configured the `diff.algorithm` variable to a
|
|
non-default value and want to use the default one, then you
|
|
have to use `--diff-algorithm=default` option.
