Actually due to the problem of handling the deletions (you can't point into something that doesnot exist anymore) I prefer to get back as a result the part of the file that have changed (inserted or deleted). Do you believe that this is doable or not ?
I'd appriciate you advices because I'm currently coding for my PhD and I need to take a decision as soon as possible. Your expertise would be helpful. Thanx in advance.
