I'm using TkCVS as the GUI front-end for a CYGWIN CVS client, on a Windows XP machine. It's a good compromise, since on my Linux machine I'm also running TkCVS (the same machine running the CVS server, BTW...).
I'm interested in replacing the diff utility (which has a tkdiff.tcl GUI front-end, for TkCVS) with a commercial product (like BeyondCompare or ExamDiff...)
Does anyone have a way to do this? Thanks!
what about just using the cvs diff command?
Or download the cvscommand plugin module for vim.
From a tkcvs faq:
Q4. Can I use a diff tool other than tkdiff with tkcvs?
A. Yes, by changing cvscfg(tkdiff). You usually have to write a wrapper for your diff tool to get it to check out the versions, and and deal with its particular command-line options, which are probably different from tkdiff's.
In the contrib directory, there is a gvim-wrapper called "cvsdiff" which can be used as-is or as a model for wrapping your favorite diff tool.
