  emacs -nw --eval '(ediff-files "file1" "file2")'

For fixing merge conflicts, it's

  emacs -nw --eval '(ediff-merge-files-with-ancestor "file1" "file2" "ancestor" nil "output-file")'

Make sure you get the two levels of quoting right if you script that.

Yes, that's a problem -- it looks abandoned to me.

Thanks for the info,
