Revision 9de0834663f28bee9e6b2c4647ed6128241ed26f authored by Linus Torvalds on 17 October 2006, 02:58:54 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 17 October 2006, 04:27:44 UTC

Jim Mayering noticed that xdiff library took insanely long time
when comparing files with many identical lines.

This was because the hash function used in the library is broken
on 64-bit architectures and caused too many collisions.
