Thanks to Ævar and Elijah for their comments, I've reworded the commit messages, addressed the enum initialization issue in patch 2 (now 3) and added some perf tests. There are two new patches in this round. The first patch is new and adds the perf tests suggested by Ævar, the penultimate patch is also new and coverts the existing code to use a designated initializer. I've converted the benchmark results in the commit messages to use the new tests, the percentage changes are broadly similar to the previous results though I ended up running them on a different computer this time. V1 cover letter: The current implementation of diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change is considerably slower that the implementation of diff --color-moved which is in turn slower than a regular diff. This patch series starts with a couple of bug fixes and then reworks the implementation of diff --color-moved and diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change to speed them up on large diffs. The time to run git diff --color-moved --no-color-moved-ws v2.28.0 v2.29.0 is reduced by 33% and the time to run git diff --color-moved --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change v2.28.0 v2.29.0 is reduced by 88%. There is a small slowdown for commit sized diffs with --color-moved - the time to run git log -p --color-moved --no-color-moved-ws --no-merges -n1000 v2.29.0 is increased by 2% on recent processors. On older processors these patches reduce the running time in all cases that I've tested. In general the larger the diff the larger the speed up. As an extreme example the time to run diff --color-moved --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change v2.25.0 v2.30.0 goes down from 8 minutes to 6 seconds.
