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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "reviewboard-issues" group.
