-This is a collection of diff algorithms, to test various combinations.
+This is a collection of diff algorithms, implemented in portable C.
-The initial aim was to provide a faster diff implementation for got
-(gameoftrees.org) with a BSD license, at the u2k20 OpenBSD hackathon.
-A side effect could be improving OpenBSD's /usr/bin/diff utility.
+The aim is to provide a faster diff implementation for Game of Trees
+(gameoftrees.org) with a BSD license. The project began at the u2k20
+OpenBSD hackathon. The original author is Neels Hofmeyr.
-At the time of writing, this is little more than a playground / benchmark basis
-/ diff algorithm analysis platform. What could be done:
-- add profiling and test series to rate diff algorithm combinations.
-- interface with / merge into got.

The Myers and Patience Diff algorithm implementations found here are based on
the explanations found in these blog post series:
