  Description     : Diffuse is a graphical tool for merging and comparing text files.

I am searching since years for a useful comparing and merging programm
under Linux which is worth to compare with the famous WinMerge (GPL) program.
(Sometime I even used winmerge with wine under Linux.)

The authors writes following on his page:
Diffuse is able to compare an arbitrary number of files side-by-side and
gives users the ability to manually adjust line-matching and directly
edit files. Diffuse can also retrieve revisions of files from CVS,
subversion, git, and mercurial repositories for comparison and merging.

Key Features
* ability to compare and merge an arbitrary number of files
* side-by-side (n-way merges)
* line-matching can be manually corrected by the user
* ability to directly edit files
* syntax highlighting
* CVS, git, mercurial, and subversion support
* support for UTF-8 encoded unicode
* unlimited undo
* easy keyboard navigation

Especially the last one is not to underestimate and makes the program
very efficient and professional.

Thanks!
