in reply to RFC: perl sub diff between two files
You sound like sundial ...
Neither GIT nor SVN can "compare or reconcile" using Perl semantics, they work only by line* comparison.
Otherwise please show me how to do this with a subroutine which moved from start to end of a file after refactoring.

*) more precisely "chunks of equal lines"
