If you want to efficiently store all changes to a file.  This is what Git does.

The other advantage is that user C could also perform an edit to A.  You could 
apply the AC diff on top of B to get a combined update.  (Also what Git does)

Thanks,

DiffPatch question

2020-02-17 Thread Richard Gaskin via use-livecode

Consider this scenario:

I'm writing text A, and another team member has revised it in text B.

I can get a list of changes from A to B with DiffCompare.  Cool.

Then with DiffPatch I can apply that diff listing to A to make it like 
the revised B.


What is the advantage of using DiffPatch over simply using the full text 
of B?
