	 * elimination of common starting and ending elements is automatically
	 * performed by the {@link #diff(SequenceComparator, Sequence, Sequence)}
	 * method, which invokes this method using

	 *
	 * @param edits
	 *            result list to append the region's edits onto.
	 * @param cmp
	 *            the comparator supplying the element equivalence function.
	 * @param a
	 *            the first (also known as old or pre-image) sequence. Edits
	 *            returned by this algorithm will reference indexes using the
	 *            'A' side: {@link org.eclipse.jgit.diff.Edit#getBeginA()},
	 *            {@link org.eclipse.jgit.diff.Edit#getEndA()}.
	 * @param b
	 *            the second (also known as new or post-image) sequence. Edits
	 *            returned by this algorithm will reference indexes using the
	 *            'B' side: {@link org.eclipse.jgit.diff.Edit#getBeginB()},
	 *            {@link org.eclipse.jgit.diff.Edit#getEndB()}.
	 * @param region
	 *            the region being compared within the two sequences.
