libgit2exposes a method to perform diff's between arbitrary buffers,git_diff_buffers.It would be nice to expose this so that consumers can generate git-compatible diffs from arbitrary buffers.
I have exposed this call as two static methods on the
Diffclass (this felt like the most appropriate place, but I'm not 100% sure).public static ContentChanges Compare(byte[] oldBuffer, byte[] newBuffer)public static ContentChanges Compare(byte[] oldBuffer, byte[] newBuffer, CompareOptions compareOptions)There is a new NativeMethod call and Proxy for
git_diff_buffersand a new constructor forContentChangesthat executes this call when provided with two byte arrays.I have also added a test suite that verifies that it produces the same output as
gitas well as the same tests as the Blob to Blob diff tests
