[request] - de-duplicate similar paths

[bugbaba]

Hi Rotem,

Currently, uddup is not able to de-duplicate similar paths like below.

This project https://github.com/ameenmaali/urldedupe trying to solve similar problems is able to de-duplicate them. The only issue is since it's written in C++ it requires rebuilding binary for a new machine.

Hi @bugbaba ,
Damn! It's crazy. Our repos are so similar although I swear I searched for something like that, but couldn't find anything that does that. Even the names are almost identical! Maybe I ran into it in the past and it got into my subconscious.

First of all, I will add it to the readme file so people will know about the alternative to my tool.

About this specific use case:

1. UDdup expects to get absolute URLs
2. As for now, the tool doesn't support more complicated use-cases as in your example and only supports things like in /PATTERN/DYNAMIC-VALUE, as opposed to your example with something like /PATTERN/DYNAMIC-VALUA/PATTERN

I will definitely consider adding this capability in the near future.

I hope you do add similar paths too!
