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 2018 September 10. 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. The first work for including xdiff in Vim was done by Christian Brabandt.
