@code{ediff-default-variant}.  If its value is @code{default-A} then A's
region is chosen.  If it is @code{default-B} then B's region is chosen.
If it is @code{combined} then the region in buffer C will look like
this:

@example
<<<<<<< variant A
the difference region from buffer A
>>>>>>> variant B
the difference region from buffer B
####### Ancestor
the difference region from the ancestor buffer, if available
======= end
@end example

buffer) are displayed in the merged region of buffer C.  The strings in the
template determine the text that separates the aforesaid regions. The
default template is

@example
("<<<<<<< variant A" A ">>>>>>> variant B" B  "####### Ancestor" Ancestor "======= end")
@end example

and the corresponding combined region is shown above. The order in which 
the regions are shown (and the separator strings) can be changed by
changing the above template. It is even possible to add or delete region

Boris Goldowsky <boris@@cs.rochester.edu> made it possible to highlight
fine differences in Ediff buffers.  Alastair Burt <burt@@dfki.uni-kl.de>
ported Ediff to XEmacs, Eric Freudenthal <freudent@@jan.ultra.nyu.edu>
made it work with VC, Marc Paquette <marcpa@@cam.org> wrote the
toolbar support package for Ediff, and Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@@srce.hr>
adapted it to the Emacs customization package.

Many people provided help with bug reports, patches, and advice.
Without them, Ediff would not be nearly as useful as it is today.
