virtualdiffing
Virtualdiffing is a technique used in computer science to compare different versions of data or code without explicitly storing each version. Instead of keeping a full copy of every previous state, virtualdiffing generates a "virtual" representation of the difference between two states. This difference can then be used to reconstruct any specific version or to perform operations that would typically require comparing full copies.
The core idea is to store a base version of the data and then record only the
Virtualdiffing is particularly useful in scenarios involving large datasets or frequent updates, such as version control
