;; Provides a lightweight alternative to emerge/ediff.
;;
;; To use it, simply type `M-x smerge-mode'.
;;
;; You can even have it turned on automatically with the following

;;   	 (when (re-search-forward "^<<<<<<< " nil t)

;;   (add-hook 'find-file-hook 'sm-try-smerge t)

;; - if requested, ask the user whether he wants to call ediff right away

;;; Code:

(eval-when-compile (require 'cl-lib))

(require 'diff-mode)                    ;For diff-refine.

  added/removed, this adjust the weights so that adding/removing long

- `smerge-refine-forward-function' only needs to be called when chopping up
  the regions, and `forward-char' can be used afterwards.
It has the following disadvantages:
- cannot use `diff -w' because the weighting causes added spaces in a line
  to be represented as added copies of some line, so `diff -w' can't do the
