Hi Stephen, What do you think about introducing some heuristic for splitting large blocks when highlighting inline differences? Realistically, an inline-diff of a sequence that long is not likely to be all that helpful, so some splitting might give a reasonable compromise between accuracy and speed.
The patch I posted previously just refused to inline-highlight anything longer than a certain threshold, but it would also be possible to e.g., only inline-diff the first 10000 characters of a change, or to split large changes into blocks of a few thousand characters each and inline-diff those individually. cheers, Kai 2009/1/19 Stephen Kennedy <[email protected]>: > Hi Bartolomeo, > > The files you have sent are almost completely different.
