Is that a local commit of yours?

Oh, sorry. It's not my commit, but it may have been something I picked
up off the list. The version from Junio is 20b813d7d3d.

$ git show -s --notes=amlog --format='%N %s' 20b813d7d3d

FWIW, I coincidentally hit this case earlier today where patience does a
_much_ better job than myers:

So don't count me as an objection, but just a curious observer. ;)

Yeah, I know some people consider that Patience is the best thing
since sliced bread, and it does produce more readable diffs often.
I haven't used it often enough to cite/remember a bad case, though.
