-Given two states of a C-preprocessor annotated source code file (left), for example before and after a commit, DiffDetective constructs a variability-aware diff (right) that distinguishes changes to source code from canges to variability annotations. DiffDetective can construct such a variation diff either, by first using a generic differencer, and separating the information (center path), or by first parsing both input versions to an abstract representation, a variation tree (center top and bottom), and constructing a variation diff using a tree differencing algorithm in a second step.

 Additionally, DiffDetective offers a **flexible framework for large-scale empirical analyses of git version histories** of statically configurable software. In multiple studies, DiffDetective was successfully employed to study the commit histories of up to 44 open-source git repositories, including the **Linux Kernel, GCC, Vim, Emacs, or the Godot game engine**.

-In this work, we formalized an extension of variation diffs, with a typing for edges and pair-wise relations for variability annotations (i.e., mapping nodes in variation diffs). Such edge-typed variation diffs show for example that two annotations exlude or imply each other. Such edge-typed diffs might help better explaining or analyzing edits in the future.

 Edge-typed variation diffs and the replication package are implemented in a fork of DiffDetective ([https://github.com/guethilu/DiffDetective][forklg]). The replication package is archived under the DOI [10.5281/zenodo.10286851](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10286851).
