+ Generate a diff using the "anchored diff" algorithm.

+This option may be specified more than once.
++
+If a line exists in both the source and destination, exists only once,
+and starts with this text, this algorithm attempts to prevent it from
+appearing as a deletion or addition in the output. It uses the "patience

Choose a diff algorithm. The variants are as follows:
