`--diff-algorithm=(patience|minimal|histogram|myers)`::
Choose a diff algorithm. The variants are as follows:
+
--
`default`;;
`myers`;;
The basic greedy diff algorithm. Currently, this is the default.
`minimal`;;
Spend extra time to make sure the smallest possible diff is
produced.
`patience`;;
Use "patience diff" algorithm when generating patches.
`histogram`;;
This algorithm extends the patience algorithm to "support
low-occurrence common elements".
--
+
For instance, if you configured the `diff.algorithm` variable to a
non-default value and want to use the default one, then you
have to use `--diff-algorithm=default` option.
