CVS Diff/Merge integrations
Jalindi Igloo
For Windows users, the Jalindi Igloo package offers external 3-way merge
support and SCC IDE
integration.
WinCVS
The CVSGUIs(WinCVS, MacCVS, and gCVS) support using external diff programs by
setting the Preferences. And, you can resolve/edit conflicts by setting up Guiffy
as the viewer(Program used to open files). First build a .bat file called for example:guifres.bat with the following
line:
"C:\Program Files\Guiffy\guiffy.exe" -mocvs%1
Then, specify the guifres.bat as the viewer(Program used to open files).
TortoiseCVS
TortoiseCVS supports external diff/merge tools. Here's how to set it up with Guiffy:
Go to Tortoise->Preferences application from the programs menu.
Select the Tools tab.
Set External Diff Application: C:\Program Files\Guiffy\guiffy.exe
Set External Merge Application: C:\Program Files\Guiffy\guiffy.exe
Check External Diff supports Unicode and check External Merge Supports
Unicode.
Use Guiffy standalone --- Then, put your saved merge results
Many CVS users find Guiffy's integrated Folder Compare features a handy way to
synchronize projects. From the Folder Compare Tree view, files can be compared
and merged. 3-way SureMerges can also be performed from the Tree view's
rightclick popup menu.
