I discovered today that the network traffic generated by my rewrite of "diff --summarize" is ridiculously heavy - like apparently 100 times what it was, in a simple real-world test. I have an obvious patch which I'll apply soon which eliminates the requests for content of deleted files, and that reduces it by a factor of ten, but I haven't yet figured out where the other 10x is happening. I'll figure it out or else I'll have to revert it all, of course.

In terms of "--show-c-function" correctly identifying +/* New doc */ -/* old doc */ void foo(void); as a change belonging to "foo"?

I don't really want that, but there might come a time when I would want that. I'm only fooling around with hypothetical use cases. - Julian
