So I noticed that my diffstat didn't match either the KVM or the Xen pull. The *reason* seems to be that both Radim and Juergen have enabled the "patience" diff, because if I add "--patience" to the diff line, I get the same numbers you guys report.

So I don't mind people using the patience version of the diffing code, but on the whole it's a loss as often as it is a win, so I'm wondering _why_ you do this? Is there some other project that has started suggesting using the patience diff (either with a command line option or by just doing git config diff.algorithm patience anyway, it's not a big deal, I'm just curious..
