Description Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2001-10-16 14:43:10 EDT 
The compare framework allows comparing workspace resources to a patch file. The 
format of the patch file is the GNU unified diff output. To create the file we 
can use CVS's diff command.

For the future it would be nice to allow creating a patch via a compare editor. 
This would force the compare framework to write a patch creator that traverses 
the diff nodes.

Feature submitted into HEAD and should be in the next build. Comparing with 
these patches is broken. I have emailed Andre about this.
Comment 2 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2002-01-08 16:26:16 EST 
[fixed in 2.0]
Added copy to clipboard and other diff options to the wizard.
