> can diff 99.95% of code changes

I’m not sure if I’m understanding this correctly : so for the remaining 0.05% of code changes, this tool would just… miss it? That seems horrible for a diff tool :O

It will crash.

But so will every other tool, because it is things like a C++ header file with 128MB of PNG data hardcoded as an array.

Editors don’t even open those files.
