Re: color coded diff viewer

Sorry, I actually asked this from a windows machine before testing it
on the linux system.

The current system I'm using does add tints of grey to highlight
changes, but it doesn't attempt to recognize the actual code, so I'm
still staring at lots of black text.

Both *.dif and *.diff are recognized as something other than the diff
output of svn. The menu provides options to "jump to source" - which
of course doesn't work.

"M-x ediff-buffers or ediff-files" is something I'll try to remember
but it also looks like something I would have used if I was using CVS
or something other than SVN that actually kept duplicate hard copies
of everything.

Emacs ediff also wasn't adding actuall color to the code, just tints of grey.

I guess no one has bothered to 'colorize' their diff output??

~Thanks
