New ticket #4824 by jsyjr
For Beanbag, Inc. > Review Board

Status: New
Tags: Priority:Medium, Type:Enhancement


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use a better text diff'ing algorithm (at least as an option)
==============================================================================

# What version are you running?

Review Board 3.0.6.10 for MathWorks

# What's the URL of the page this enhancement relates to, if any?


# Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.

One of my recurring frustrations using reviewboard is its abysmal diff'ing 
behavior.  Since diff'ing under git or emacs behaves so much better I am always 
shocked when I confront reviewboard's results.  In particular it seems to 
consider a pair of blank lines as sufficient to re-establish a notion of the 
comparisons being back in sync.

My vote would be for something like "git-diff-files --unified=<n> 
--diff-algorithm=histogram" for some n significantly greater than the default 
of 3 (e.g. 7).

# What operating system are you using? What browser?

Debian (Jessie?) and Chrome (but does that really matter?)


# Please provide any additional information below.
