I was really (really, really) disappointed with XCode's file difference tool. It's pretty basic. The big functional disappointment is that it can't ignore CVS file tags (e.g.: "$Revision: 1.6$") so every file is flagged as different.

Yeah. That is pretty bloody annoying, isn't it? I always strip those particular markers out of source because they are really terribly useless unless your software development process is otherwise utterly broken ...

Yep, that needed to be said. I believe that they are used to show off. See! I'm using code versioning.

In any case, it is easy to fix:

perl -pi -e 's/\$Id:.*\$//' *.[hcm]
