Description Keith Fetterman CLA 2005-01-12 18:24:38 EST 
In the compare editor, it would be nice if you could enable a filter where you
could only see the outgoing changes, the incoming changes or the conflicts when
comparing two files.

For example, I am doing a CVS merge from a branch into the HEAD.  In the HEAD
version, the entire file was reformatted. The version in the branch may only
have one or two changes. Currently, it is very difficult to find the one or two
incoming changes because the 3-way compare editor is awash with the outgoing
changes caused by the reformatting.  

If their was a button to only show the incoming changes and filter out the
outgoing ones.  It would be much easier to find them.
