Interested to know what algorithm you use for --fuzzy. Presumably not any of the worst-case-quadratic diff algorithms... MinHash on n-grams?

imo fclones is the one to beat, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pkolaczk&#x2F;fclones#benchmarks" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pkolaczk&#x2F;fclones#benchmarks</a><p>nice that there are actually some ok interfaces here. with fclones, i tend to generate a file of candidates then do a little review to make super certain everything is square &#x2F; as expected. it&#x27;s very built for intermediary files a core pattern, which is very unix, very convenient. but it did take me a little while to settle on this, and it felt like i wasn&#x27;t being offered a ton of options for management out of box. looks like some real attempts to be more user friendly here.
