There has been at least two different scripts for this posted, and one C source code version. I just haven't integrated them, because I'm an idiot, and too much choice makes me run around in small circles and clucking. Guys - whoever wrote one of the scripts, can you please send out your current version to the git list and cc me, and explain why yours is superior to the other peoples version. Please?I already explained why mine sucks and shouldn't be merged. It was a proof of concept; hoping for the stone soup effect. I haven't seen a C version or indeed anything which actually does the right thing, although I outlined how it would work and _threatened_ to do one. I had a half-arsed attempt at it on the way home from linux.conf.au but my brain tends to melt while I'm on airplanes so I didn't get very far.
Note that paulus current dirdiff CVS can diff arbitrary revs of a git tree afaik (or a rev against current edited content). Ben.
