bdiff: early pruning of common prefix before doing expensive computations
It seems quite common that files don't change completely. New lines are often
pretty much appended, and modifications will often only change a small section
of the file which on average will be in the middle.
There can thus be a big win by pruning a common prefix before starting the more
expensive search for longest common substrings.
Worst case, it will scan through a long sequence of similar bytes without
encountering a newline. Splitlines will then have to do the same again ...
twice for each side. If similar lines are found, splitlines will save the
double iteration and hashing of the lines ... plus there will be less lines to
find common substrings in.
This change might in some cases make the algorith pick shorter or less optimal
common substrings. We can't have the cake and eat it.
This make hg --time bundle --base null -r 4.0 go from 14.5 to 15 s - a 3%
increase.
