# Script to get stable diff output on any platform.

# Output of this script is almost equivalent to GNU diff with "-Nru".
#
# Use this script as "hg pdiff" via extdiff extension with preparation
# below in test scripts:
#
# $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
# > [extdiff]
# > pdiff = sh "$RUNTESTDIR/pdiff"
# > EOF

# USAGE: filediff file1 file2 [header]
# compare with /dev/null if file doesn't exist (as "-N" option)

# Return immediately, because comparison isn't needed. This
# also avoids redundant message of diff like "No differences
# encountered" (on Solaris)

# replace "/dev/null" by corresponded filename (as "-N" option)

# implementation to return 1 at detecting changes.
#
# On bash and dash, assignment to variable inside while-block
# doesn't affect outside, because inside while-block is executed
# in sub-shell. BTW, it affects outside while-block on ksh (as sh
# on Solaris).
