 3 3b0f3d61 2020-01-22 neels The initial aim was to provide a faster diff implementation for got
 4 3b0f3d61 2020-01-22 neels (gameoftrees.org) with a BSD license, at the u2k20 OpenBSD hackathon.
 5 3b0f3d61 2020-01-22 neels A side effect could be improving OpenBSD's /usr/bin/diff utility.

 7 3b0f3d61 2020-01-22 neels At the time of writing, this is little more than a playground / benchmark basis
 8 3b0f3d61 2020-01-22 neels / diff algorithm analysis platform. What could be done:
 9 3b0f3d61 2020-01-22 neels - add profiling and test series to rate diff algorithm combinations.
10 3b0f3d61 2020-01-22 neels - interface with / merge into got.
