bdiff: normalize the diff (issue1295) When the common part of a diff can be moved forward, move it forward. Otherwise we don't get deterministic results (it would depends on the way we split for the recursion). That way we get identical hunks when doing the same change, it helps to solve issue1295 (inconsistent diffs on different side during a merge).

#!/bin/sh

hg init

mkdir alpha
touch alpha/one
mkdir beta
touch beta/two

hg add alpha/one beta/two
hg ci -m "start" -d "1000000 0"

echo 1 > alpha/one
echo 2 > beta/two

echo EVERYTHING
hg diff --nodates

echo BETA ONLY
hg diff --nodates beta

echo INSIDE BETA
cd beta
hg diff --nodates .
