The diff command under Linux will serve you well to compare two directories (optionally recursively). However, you would be MUCH better off with something like CVS since in many cases it will merge the changes for you. At the very least if it cannot successfully merge the changes it will indicate where in the file the conflict occurred and give you both versions of the code so you can delete what you don't what and keep what you do.
