Based on a cursory review of the git code I get the impression that GNU diff and git 'diff' do not share any code for the possible diff algorithms. I'm in particularly curious more about the default "myers" algorithm. I can take time to do a precise code review of the algorithms used on both GNU diff and git but if someone can already vet for any differences that'd be appreciated as it would save time.
