diff optimization on specialized files |

hey,
Suppose I had two files with the property such that I knew that:
- file b contained a superset of lines in file a
- the lines in file a and file b that were the same were in order.
- all files in line b that matched line a's were the same or
different (no partial matches or replacements
hence, file a:
line2
line3
line4
and file b
line0
line2
line3
line4
line5
Is there any way/flag that you can tell diff to optimize the above
difference? As it stands, I'm getting spurious replacements in the
diffs outputted. Is there a way to force diff to just show additions
and deletions?
