I've seen many Tk tools that do this. There is also a web interface as well. : It doesn't have a 3-way filemerge tool (I : still fire up teamware (what NSElite became) to do heavy merging and use : the automerge feature)... That is true. : Perforce *does* have the disparate release : stream feature, but I have found it somewhat difficult to use. Perhaps if : I'd actually had the depot locally I'd feel more at home with it.... Once you get use to it, it is much easier to use than CVS. I have my own branch for kernel changes that I'm in the middle of, and merging them is as simple as p4 integrate newsrc/sys/... src/sys/... p4 resolve And I can also merge the changes to my src/sys/... tree back into newsrc/sys/... at any time with p4 integrate src/sys/... newsrc/sys/... p4 resolve I'd go insane without it. Or more likely people at work would be more upset with my tendancy to checkin early and often to make sure all the places I work on stuff are in sync.
