WinMerge is sufficient for plain text format diffs. Excellent tool for
comparing entire code bases and merging changes amongst them.
SubVersion for change control. No question that it is far better than
CVS. After working with a CVS repository and migrating to SVN there
was simply no looking back. I never once thought "I wish SubVersion
did X like CVS". For centralized repository management SVN is it.

Subversion is a great tool for source code mgmt and baselining.
However, its roots are from the Linux side. Do some Googling and read
up on it.
Now, you mention comparing. There a several free 'diff' tools out
there. You can find them Googling also.
good luck
