All + three are bundled together, because they all use the same minimal-difference + algorithm. + + The history tool presented here, fhist, is a minimal history tool. It + provides no locking or branching. This can be useful in contexts where the + configuration management or change control be being provided by some other + tool. + + The history tool, fhist is able to handle binary files. The file comparison + tool, fcomp, usually does a line-for-line plain-text comparison, however it + is also capable of a byte-for-byte binary comparison. |
