Hi Eric,
Thanks for your reply -- and volunteering to implement it!
The programs that would seem to work well on windows would be
TortoiseMerge (distributed with tortoiseSVN) and KDiff3, but
perhaps you know of better ones? It should at least be possible
to have the paths to the diff'd files programmatically available.
Furthermore, I saw that the, surprisingly well working!,
TortoiseDarcs seemed to do a good diff -- perhaps they already
did a good patch for darcs?
Thanks for all the help,
-- Daan.
ps. I am trying to get some people at work to use Darcs and
this would definitely help to convince them :-)
