DESCRIPTION
xxdiff(1)
is a graphical file and directories comparison and merge tool.
xxdiff-scripts is a collection of python scripts around xxdiff that
allows automation of various diff, review and merge tasks using xxdiff.
COMMANDS
All the programs in xxdiff-scripts script collection support the usual
GNU command line syntax and have a --help option that has detailed
information about the options supported.
svn-foreign
svn-foreign runs 'svn status' on the given Subversion checkout
directories, to find out which files are unaccounted for and allows
dealing with the files interactively.
xx-cond-replace
xx-cond-replace is a script to conditionally replace an original by a
generated file.
xx-cvs-diff
xx-cvs-diff invokes 'cvs diff' with the given file arguments, and allows
a xxdiff preview of the current changes made in a cvs checkout.
xx-cvs-revcmp
xx-cvs-revcmp displays file differences with the current or a previous
CVS version.
xx-diff-proxy
xx-diff-proxy is a wrapper script for xxdiff that presents options that
are the same as the diff or diff3 commands. This can be used with
programs that expect to call diff/diff3 to present differences to users,
and can be configured with a different diff program.
xx-encrypted
xx-encrypted is a script to compare and merge contents of encrypted
files relatively safely.
xx-filter
xx-filter walks a directory hierarchy, selects some files to be
processed, performs replacements in files and confirms the application
of changes via xxdiff.
xx-find-grep-sed

processed and performs global sed-like replacements in the set of files.
