We investigated the impact of adopting different diff algorithms in Git on empirical studies and take a manual measurement of their quality in generating the diff results. The findings show that on the impact on code churn metrics and bug-introducing change identification in 24 Java projects, we obtained different results of code changes based on different diff algorithms. For patch application, we found that the Histogram is more suitable than Myers for providing the changes of code.
