<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
<application>&app;</application> is a graphical tool for merging and comparing text files. <application>&app;</application>
is able to compare an arbitrary number of files side-by-side and gives
users the ability to manually adjust line matching and directly edit
files. <application>&app;</application> can also retrieve revisions of files from Bazaar, CVS,
Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Monotone, RCS, Subversion, and SVK repositories
for comparison and merging.

<chapter id="version-control">
<title>Version Control</title>
<para>
<application>&app;</application> can retrieve file revisions from several version control systems
via their command line interface. The Microsoft Windows build of <application>&app;</application>
is able to use both the Cygwin and native versions of the supported
version control systems. When using <application>&app;</application> with Cygwin, ensure
<application>&app;</application>'s Cygwin preferences correctly describe your system. If the
<guilabel>Update paths for Cygwin</guilabel> preference exists for a
version control system, it must be enabled to use the Cygwin version.
</para>
<para>
Version control systems are sensitive to the system path and other
environment variable settings. The <guilabel>Launch from a Bash login
shell</guilabel> preference may be used to easily set the environment for
Cygwin version control systems.
</para>
<sect1 id="version-control-uncommitted-modifications">
<title>Viewing Uncommitted Modifications</title>
<para>
The <userinput>-m</userinput> option will cause <application>&app;</application> to open
comparison tabs for each file the version control system indicates has
uncommitted modifications. This is convenient for reviewing all
changes before committing or resolving a merge conflict. If no paths
are specified the current working directory will be used. For example,
view all of your uncommitted modifications with this command line:
</para>
<para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>diffuse -m</userinput></screen>
</para>
<para>
The default revision of a file will be used for comparison if only one
file is specified. For example, this will display a 2-way merge
between the default revision of <filename>foo.C</filename> and the
local <filename>foo.C</filename> file:
</para>
<para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>diffuse foo.C</userinput></screen>
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="version-control-specifying-revisions">
<title>Specifying Revisions</title>
<para>
The <userinput>-r</userinput> option may also be used to explicitly
specify a particular file revision. Any revision specifier understood
by the version control system may be used. The local file will be used
for comparison if only one file revision is specified. For example,
this will display a 2-way merge between revision 123 of
<filename>foo.C</filename> and the local <filename>foo.C</filename>
file:
</para>
<para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>diffuse -r 123 foo.C</userinput></screen>
</para>
<para>
Multiple file revisions can be compared by specifying multiple
<userinput>-r</userinput> options. For example, this will display a
2-way merge between revision 123 of <filename>foo.C</filename> and
revision 321 of <filename>foo.C</filename>:
</para>
<para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>diffuse -r 123 -r 321 foo.C</userinput></screen>
</para>
<para>
Local files can be mixed with files from the version control system.
For example, this will display a 3-way merge between revision
MERGE_HEAD of <filename>foo.C</filename>, the local
<filename>foo.C</filename> file, and revision HEAD of
<filename>foo.C</filename>:
</para>
<para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>diffuse -r MERGE_HEAD foo.C foo.C -r HEAD foo.C</userinput></screen>
</para>
<para>
For the <userinput>-c</userinput> option may be used to easily specify
a pair of sequential revisions. For example, this will display a 2-way
merge between revision 1.2.2 of
<filename>foo.C</filename> and revision 1.2.3 of
<filename>foo.C</filename>:
</para>
<para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>diffuse -c 1.2.3 foo.C</userinput></screen>
</para>
<para>
<application>&app;</application> does not limit the number of panes that can be used for
comparing files. The inputs to a Git octopus merge could be viewed
with a command line like this:
</para>
<para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>diffuse -r HEAD^1 -r HEAD^2 -r HEAD^3 -r HEAD^4 -r HEAD^5 foo.C</userinput></screen>
</para>
</sect1>
</chapter>
<chapter id="resources">
<title>Resources</title>
<para>
Resources can be used to customise several aspects of <application>&app;</application>'s
appearance and behaviour such as changing the colours used in the user
interface, customising the keyboard shortcuts, adding or replacing syntax
highlighting rules, or changing the mapping from file extensions to
syntax highlighting rules.
</para>
<para>
When <application>&app;</application> is started, it will read commands from the system wide
initialisation file <filename>/etc/diffuserc</filename>
(<filename>%INSTALL_DIR%\diffuserc</filename> on Microsoft Windows) and
then the personal initialisation file
<filename>~/.config/diffuse/diffuserc</filename>
(<filename>%HOME%\.config\diffuse\diffuserc</filename> on Microsoft Windows).
This behaviour can be changed with the <userinput>--no-rcfile</userinput>
and <userinput>--rcfile</userinput> configuration options. A Bourne
shell-like lexical analyser is used to parse initialisation commands.
Comments and special characters can be embedded using the same style of
escaping used in Bourne shell scripts.

<listitem>
<para>
Adds a pattern to the previously declared syntax style. Patterns
are tried one at a time in the order they were declared until the
first match is found. A pattern will only be used to match
characters if the state machine is in the state
<replaceable>initial_state</replaceable>. The state machine will
transition to <replaceable>final_state</replaceable> if the
pattern defined by <replaceable>pattern</replaceable> is matched.
Case insensitive pattern matching will be used if
<userinput>ignorecase</userinput> is specified. All characters
matched by the pattern will be tagged as
<replaceable>tag</replaceable> for highlighting.
