A lot of people have been telling me that they prefer the "unified" or "context" style in-line diffs over side-by-side diffs. And I have to admit that sometimes an in-line diff is easier to read and understand. But side-by-side diffs, especially with the recent enhancements, sometime give a much clearer picture of what changed. The following is a dramatic example of this that I stumbled over while testing. First the in-line diff:
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/fdiff?v1=25b66bf2fcb&v2=1a6be6bad57&sbs=0#chunk3 Can you tell what changed? Now look at the side-by-side diff: http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/fdiff?v1=25b66bf2fcb&v2=1a6be6bad57&sbs=1#chunk3 Surely you will admit that, in this case at least, the side-by-side diff gives a much clearer picture of what happened.... -- D.
