NAME¶
aecomp - compare two changes
SYNOPSIS¶
aecomp number [
number ]
DESCRIPTION¶
The
aecomp script is used to compare two changes, using
tkdiff(1)
to display the changes. If you give one change on the command line, the other
change is determined in the usual way. If you give two changes, those are the
two compared. Both changes must be in the
being developed state (it's
only a script, after all).
Basically, aecomp allows you to specify two project/change pairs (ie the
compared changes don't have to be in the same branch or project). aecomp
attempts to use defaults (for project and change number) where possible. As a
minimum, it needs a single change number as an option. A list of files which
are common between the two changes is constructed and presented. Double
clicking on any of the file names will
tkdiff the two versions (ie the
files in each change).
It is useful after you have used
aeclone(1), then modified a change and
subsequently are wondering what on earth you did. Files are considered to be
"common" if they have the same name. In the case of a file which has
been moved, it's original filename is used (the diff of course takes place
against the new file name).
