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.
This probably extends beyond FileMerge and into XCode actually, because it would be important for XCode to realize that these "differences" should be ignored between CVS branches.
There are other failings, but they are less functional and more experiential (lack of colorization to show conflict type; very few UI widgets (well, one, really) to manipulate the files. My gold standard would probably be something along the lines of Eclipse's merge tool or combined with SlickEdit... but neither of them solve the XCode problem.
Is there a solution out there?
