Patience diff was developed by Bram Cohen, see [here](http://alfedenzo.livejournal.com/170301.html) and

[here](http://bramcohen.livejournal.com/73318.html) for explanations.

The diffs produced are generally more human-readable, i.e.,

the patience diff:

```

 void func1() {

     x += 1

 }

+void functhreehalves() {

+    x += 1.5

+}

+

 void func2() {

     x += 2

 }

```

vs the traditional LCS-based diff:

```

 void func1() {

     x += 1

+}

+

+void functhreehalves() {

+    x += 1.5

 }

 

 void func2() {

     x += 2

 }

```
