xdiff: remove patience and histogram diff algorithms...
xdiff: remove patience and histogram diff algorithms Patience diff is the normal diff algorithm, plus some greediness that unconditionally matches common common unique lines. That means it is easy to construct cases to let it generate suboptimal result, like: ``` open('a', 'w').write('\n'.join(list('a' + 'x' * 300 + 'u' + 'x' * 700 + 'a\n'))) open('b', 'w').write('\n'.join(list('b' + 'x' * 700 + 'u' + 'x' * 300 + 'b\n'))) ``` Patience diff has been advertised as being able to generate better results for some C code changes. However, the more scientific way to do that is the indention heuristic [1]. Since patience diff could generate suboptimal result more easily and its "better" diff feature could be replaced by the new indention heuristic, let's just remove it and its variant histogram diff to simplify the code.

Mercurial

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers.

Basic install:

$ make            # see install targets
$ make install    # do a system-wide install
$ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
$ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

$ make local      # build for inplace usage
$ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
