none, I'm afraid, and I'm not even sure that you can convince svn to
use it as the merge tool.
we're still on VSS at the office (I cannot tell you what I really
think of VSS in a family EMail echo) so we're stuck (from time to
time) with doing merges by hand.
A couple months ago, my son (also a programmer) told me "buy this
program, you won't regret it" and, as usual, he was right.
I'm cranking up svn on my personal work, and currently using it as a
method of tracking a product I work on both at work and home (no, I'm
not doing personal stuff at work...the other way 'round) since I
can't get to VSS from home. So I'm just getting started with svn.
