 /**
  * @file git2/diff.h
  * @brief Git tree and file differencing routines.
- *
- * Overview
- * --------
- *
- * Calculating diffs is generally done in two phases: building a list of
- * diffs then traversing it.  This makes is easier to share logic across
- * the various types of diffs (tree vs tree, workdir vs index, etc.), and
- * also allows you to insert optional diff post-processing phases,
- * such as rename detection, in between the steps.  When you are done with
- * a diff object, it must be freed.
- *
- * Terminology
- * -----------
- *
- * To understand the diff APIs, you should know the following terms:
- *
- * - A `diff` represents the cumulative list of differences between two
- *   snapshots of a repository (possibly filtered by a set of file name
- *   patterns).  This is the `git_diff` object.
- *
- * - A `delta` is a file pair with an old and new revision.  The old version
- *   may be absent if the file was just created and the new version may be
- *   absent if the file was deleted.  A diff is mostly just a list of deltas.
- *
- * - A `binary` file / delta is a file (or pair) for which no text diffs
- *   should be generated.  A diff can contain delta entries that are
- *   binary, but no diff content will be output for those files.  There is
- *   a base heuristic for binary detection and you can further tune the
- *   behavior with git attributes or diff flags and option settings.
- *
- * - A `hunk` is a span of modified lines in a delta along with some stable
- *   surrounding context.  You can configure the amount of context and other
- *   properties of how hunks are generated.  Each hunk also comes with a
- *   header that described where it starts and ends in both the old and new
- *   versions in the delta.
- *
- * - A `line` is a range of characters inside a hunk.  It could be a context
- *   line (i.e. in both old and new versions), an added line (i.e. only in
- *   the new version), or a removed line (i.e. only in the old version).
- *   Unfortunately, we don't know anything about the encoding of data in the
- *   file being diffed, so we cannot tell you much about the line content.
- *   Line data will not be NUL-byte terminated, however, because it will be
- *   just a span of bytes inside the larger file.
