;;; Commentary:

;; Never read that diff output again!
;; Apply patch interactively!
;; Merge with ease!

;; This package provides a convenient way of simultaneous browsing through
;; the differences between a pair (or a triple) of files or buffers.  The
;; files being compared, file-A, file-B, and file-C (if applicable) are
;; shown in separate windows (side by side, one above the another, or in
;; separate frames), and the differences are highlighted as you step
;; through them.  You can also copy difference regions from one buffer to
;; another (and recover old differences if you change your mind).

;; Ediff also supports merging operations on files and buffers, including
;; merging using ancestor versions.  Both comparison and merging operations can
;; be performed on directories, i.e., by pairwise comparison of files in those
;; directories.

;; In addition, Ediff can apply a patch to a file and then let you step
;; though both files, the patched and the original one, simultaneously,
;; difference-by-difference.  You can even apply a patch right out of a
;; mail buffer, i.e., patches received by mail don't even have to be saved.
;; Since Ediff lets you copy differences between buffers, you can, in
;; effect, apply patches selectively (i.e., you can copy a difference
;; region from file_orig to file, thereby undoing any particular patch that
;; you don't like).

;; Ediff is aware of version control, which lets the user compare
;; files with their older versions.  Ediff can also work with remote and
;; compressed files.  Details are given below.

;; Finally, Ediff supports directory-level comparison, merging and patching.
;; See the on-line manual for details.

;; This package builds upon the ideas borrowed from emerge.el and several
;; Ediff's functions are adaptations from emerge.el.  Much of the functionality
;; Ediff provides is also influenced by emerge.el.

;; The present version of Ediff supersedes Emerge.  It provides a superior user
;; interface and has numerous major features not found in Emerge.  In
;; particular, it can do patching, and 2-way and 3-way file comparison,
;; merging, and directory operations.



;;; Bugs:

;;  1. The undo command doesn't restore deleted regions well.  That is, if
;;  you delete all characters in a difference region and then invoke
;;  `undo', the reinstated text will most likely be inserted outside of
;;  what Ediff thinks is the current difference region. (This problem
;;  doesn't seem to exist with XEmacs.)
;;
;;  If at any point you feel that difference regions are no longer correct,
;;  you can hit '!' to recompute the differences.

;;  2. On a monochrome display, the repertoire of faces with which to
;;  highlight fine differences is limited.  By default, Ediff is using
;;  underlining.  However, if the region is already underlined by some other
;;  overlays, there is no simple way to temporarily remove that residual
;;  underlining.  This problem occurs when a buffer is highlighted with
;;  hilit19.el or font-lock.el packages.  If this residual highlighting gets
;;  in the way, you can do the following.  Both font-lock.el and hilit19.el
;;  provide commands for unhighlighting buffers.  You can either place these
;;  commands in `ediff-prepare-buffer-hook' (which will unhighlight every
;;  buffer used by Ediff) or you can execute them interactively, at any time
;;  and on any buffer.


;;; Acknowledgements:

;; Ediff was inspired by Dale R. Worley's <[e-mail]> emerge.el.
;; Ediff would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of
;; its many users.  See Ediff on-line Info for the full list of those who
;; helped.  Improved defaults in Ediff file-name reading commands.
