;;; Commentary:

;; Provides a lightweight alternative to emerge/ediff.
;; To use it, simply add to your .emacs the following lines:
;;
;;   (autoload 'smerge-mode "smerge-mode" nil t)
;;
;; you can even have it turned on automatically with the following
;; piece of code in your .emacs:
;;
;;   (defun sm-try-smerge ()
;;     (save-excursion
;;   	 (goto-char (point-min))
;;   	 (when (re-search-forward "^<<<<<<< " nil t)
;;   	   (smerge-mode 1))))
;;   (add-hook 'find-file-hook 'sm-try-smerge t)

;;; Todo:

;; - if requested, ask the user whether he wants to call ediff right away

;;; Code:

(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))


;;; The real definition comes later.

  This only matters if `smerge-refine-ignore-whitespace' is nil.

I.e. each atomic element (e.g. word) will be copied as many times (on different

- if `diff' tries to minimize the number *lines* (rather than chars)
  added/removed, this adjust the weights so that adding/removing long
  symbols is considered correspondingly more costly.
- `smerge-refine-forward-function' only needs to be called when chopping up
  the regions, and `forward-char' can be used afterwards.
It has the following disadvantages:
- cannot use `diff -w' because the weighting causes added spaces in a line
  to be represented as added copies of some line, so `diff -w' can't do the
  right thing any more.
- may in degenerate cases take a 1KB input region and turn it into a 1MB
