Thread
Profiling 'got blame' shows that it spends a lot of time in the patience
diff algorithm sorting lines in files. With the Myers algorithm, diffing
files is almost twice as fast. Both 'diff' and 'blame' need to use the
same diffing algorithm, otherwise results displayed will be inconsistent
between the two commands.

I think it is fine for 'got diff' and 'got blame' to be slow but show
very pretty patience diffs that are nice to review.

However, when using 'tog blame' interactively it is good to see results
as quickly as possible. So the patch below switches tog to Myers diff,
and leaves got with patience diff (and also gotweb, for now).

$ time tog blame got/got.c
    0m10.71s real     0m06.24s user     0m03.72s system
$ time got blame got/got.c >/dev/null
    0m18.66s real     0m14.75s user     0m03.49s system

ok?
