Diffuse is a graphical tool for merging and comparing text files. 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 Bazaar, CVS, Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Monotone, Subversion, and SVK repositories for comparison and merging.

    Reviewing 0.4.1 (Nov 3, 2009)

    A good start, but still not ready for 1.0. Looks like it will be a good competitor to WinMerge, although i wonder if this will introduce any better or new features - can't see any yet:
    - Won't copy left/right and move to the next change - requires 2 different icon presses/key commands.
    - Doesn't compare 2 folders of files.
    - Wants to copy each line of changes separately rather than each block of changes (or option of either) unless i select the text first.
    - Merge Left then Right function is not explained anywhere. Can't make sense of what it does anyway.
    Despite its shortcomings i'll keep watching this with interest.
