diff4-optimization-bytes

Johan,

I'm concerned about this change: on the one hand, it's untested and
no one claims to be understanding the code; on the other hand, it
doesn't exactly parallel the diff3 change:

specifically, the last hunk of the diff3 patch (which is also included
below) has no equivalent in the diff4 patch. A wild guess is that the
parameters to svn_diff__diff() might need to be adjusted.

All in all, given your warnings in the log message, I have zero reason
to believe the change is correct, and I just cited one reason I have to
believe it's wrong :-).

May I suggest that, if this code is to be released, then you validate
its correctnss? For example, a minimal regression test that is written
to record trunk's pre-branch behaviour might be sufficient.

Best,

Daniel
