This tool looks interesting from the screenshots in the website. I wonder if some things that diff doesn't do well are handled separately by this tool. Or, I do not know how to make diff do it well - for example, show added similar "paragraph" in better context. If I have a for loop and add an identical for loop after current one, diff will typically show the new one inserted in between the first part of the existing for loop and the last line of the existing for loop. The perforce diff client seems to get this right and shows the new for loop inserted after the current one. Aside from that, what I miss in some GUI diff clients is the way vimdiff works. By default, vimdiff collapses the similar areas and shows only the diff parts noncollapsed. This is very useful when I am looking at a diff of a large file and the diff portions are far apart. It helps get a quick overview of the differences in the entire file. |
