RE: Subclipse Merge (was: Concurrent versioning = spawn of the devil?)

If you don't like TortoiseMerge, don't like Subclipse merge, and/or don't use Windoze, you might like to try
KDiff3 <http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/>.

If you're using Tortoise on Windoze, then make a note of your Merge Viewer and Diff Viewer settings before you install KDiff3, or remember to disable integration with Tortoise during installation.

I quite like what I've seen of this tool so far, but have not yet used it in anger on a really big, complex merge. I have tried many other tools, however, including some commercial evaluations, and have not been entirely satisfied with any. KDiff3 looks quite promising, even though it's still pre-1.0 release.

Rob.
