git - When should I not use patience diff? -


what `git diff --patience` for? explains how patience diff may better myers (the default one).

is there reason against using default?

name hints may noticeably slower, speed issues mentioned in examples of different results produced standard (myers), minimal, patience , histogram diff algorithms running time never issue me - real problem massive files or other pathological situations?

patience algorithm has poor result cases (like https://gist.github.com/roryokane/79b8ebcb3813ebd934c4) @ least in experience better on typical source code diff (cases https://gist.github.com/roryokane/6f9061d3a60c1ba41237) - though entirely own observation, of noticed result may placebo.
