+The files in this directory come from the xdiff implementation in git.
+You can find it here: https://github.com/git/git/tree/master/xdiff
+The files were last updated March 17, 2023 from git release v.2.40.0
+
+This is originally based on libxdiff, which can be found here:
+http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html
+
+The git version was used because it has been maintained and improved.
+And since it's part of git it is expected to be reliable.
+
+The code is distributed under the GNU LGPL license. It is included in the
+COPYING file.
+
+Changes in these files were made to avoid compiler warnings.
+
+The /* */ comments are kept to make syncing to a newer version easier, do not
+change them to // comments!
+
+The first work for including xdiff in Vim was done by Christian Brabandt.
