I was hoping to see a compact implementation of diff algorithm. However, the script seems to be relying on using the 'diff' utility already present. Not a bad thing, but I was expecting to see something else.



I went with a don't-reinvent-the-wheel approach. Anything I did would have at least doubled the time to write the script and probably yielded a diff half as good.


This might be worth a look for a decent diff algorithm:
