Yeah, similar. Mine is below. There's one less branch in the for loops.

Junio, the time difference is quite big for Abhijit's admittedly odd 
test-case:

 - Before:

	[torvalds@nehalem slow-diff]$ time git diff 1 2 > out.old
	
	real	2m19.912s
	user	2m19.885s
	sys	0m0.024s

 - After:

	[torvalds@nehalem slow-diff]$ time ~/git/git diff 1 2 > out

	real	0m0.841s
	user	0m0.816s
	sys	0m0.024s

with no difference in output.
