Re: 3rd-party merging tools? Recommendations?

Hi,

I too use Beyond Compare for diffing (it's a fantastic tool!). They
don't have a 3-way merge tool, but are apparently developing one (which
I'm looking forward too).

In the meantime I use TortoiseMerge to do conflict edits. If you use
TSVN, when a file has a conflict you can right-click it in Explorer and
"Edit Conflicts", which opens up TortoiseMerge with the 3 files (.mine,
.rXX, etc).

Hope that clarifies a little.
