Is there anything built-in to ToitoiseSvn or TortoiseMerge that I’m missing ? Or any existing plug-in that I might consider using ?īNCS Engineer, SI SOL Telco & Media Vertical Practice I’ve found the “Advanced diff settings” page where plugins are configured for Word/Excel etc but there is no sign of anything I notice that there is some filetype specific selection of differencing that is used for MS Word files, for example. Is there a feature for doing this within TortoiseSvn/TortoiseMerge ?
WinMerge comes with some filters to normalize irrelevant differencesīetween files so this issue can be worked around (though the filters do prevent these file-types being merged). With CVSNT I’ve used WinMerge for showing differences. I have come fairly recently to Subversion and TortoiseSvn and TortoieMerge, having used CVSNT/CVS Suite for many years. On looking at XML files in TortoiseMerge I am seeing these irrelevant differences and it is making it very difficult to spot real changes, either to plan my commit, or to do a merge. Two XML files might appear from a straightforward text diff to be quite different, but to an XML-aware differencer This is a great way to update web sites or your network drive and a USB drive that you want to synchronise between.When differencing some file-types, eg XML, whitespace and some details of the syntax don’t actually mean a significant difference. Smart filters are installed for ignoring the most common files (such as programs and images). Directory Compareįrom the diff/merge compare tool you can also view the differences in an entire directory. The toolbar provides a quick way to navigate through all the changes in a file, skipping directly from one change to the next, however if there are lines that are not critical to you, such as comments you can program the diff/merge utility to ignore them using a simple regular expression. You can also view the differences between any two documents in history with the CVS->History command from the right click menu.įilter out comment lines and other noise from right within the side by side differences view in CVS Suite.
Right ClickĬhecking the changes you have made to a document is as quick as a right click away. CVS Suite side by side Differences viewer allows you to see all your chages at a glance.
Document properties and macros are also shown in the side by side view - so you can be sure you are comparing all the changes. The text portion of any Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Powerpoint document can be compared side by side with the latest version. With CVS Suite tracking changes in Microsoft Office documents is easy. With the included side by side Diff and Merge utility you can compare the changes between any two historical version os file, or the current copy on disk with a repository version.
