Package: xxdiff
Description: a graphical file and directories comparison and merge tool
A powerful tool for viewing the differences between two or three files,
or two directories, and can be used to produce a merged version. The
texts of the two or three files are presented side by side with their
differences highlighted with colors for easy identification. Among its
features are:
* Comparing two files, three files, or two directories (shallow
and recursive);
* Horizontal diffs highlighting;
* Files can be merged interactively and resulting output visualized
and saved;
* Has features to assist in performing merge reviews/policing;
* Can unmerge CVS conflicts in automatically merged file and display
them as two files, to help resolve conflicts;
* Fully customizable with a resource file;
* Look-and-feel similar to Rudy Wortel's/SGI xdiff, it is desktop
agnostic (i.e. will work equally well with KDE or Gnome).
