Revert removal of multi-match discard heuristic in 27af01
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
27af01d (xdiff/xprepare: improve O(n*m) performance in
xdl_cleanup_records(), 2011-08-17) was supposed to be a performance
boost only. However, it unexpectedly changed the behaviour of diff.

Revert a part of 27af01d that removes logic that mark lines as
"multi-match" (ie. dis[i] == 2). This was preventing the multi-match
discard heuristic (performed in xdl_cleanup_records() and
xdl_clean_mmatch()) from executing.
