Here is an example. This whole method (and actually many more code above and below it) were moved (or basically the class and the file were renamed). I inserted "---" to show boundaries of detected move blocks. Ideally I would want to see it all as a single moved block. Lines starting with "xxx" are...

If you are interested, then what I am doing is trying to maintain two copies of code in sync. One original copy is C# and another is a close port (almost line by line) of it in Java. While working on C# code we add, delete, change and move lines. Refactorings are rampant so lines could easily move b...

In my case when I compare two source code files it detects most of moved lines okay, but there are two little problems: 1. If a continuous ...

Moved lines in reports

Hi, I really need a tool that can detect moved lines in source code. Your tool seems to do that well, but when exporting a report in any of the formats - the moved lines are indistinguishable from simple additions or deletions. I would like to have a way to clearly distinguish moves from additions o...
