Thanks for the suggestion. I did a quick scan of the delta manual, but
couldn't spot anything on integration with svn, just git. Have you
worked out the necessary config options for svn so that it would work
with diffs like Ben's, or for running `svn diff` on some local changes?
Currently I don't use svn for anything but the R sources, but I suspect
that will continue for some time...

For Linux users, meld is quite nice for side by side editing, though
I've never tried using it for
display. Just checking now suggests it isn't obvious how to "print"
side by side display.
I've made meld easier for my own use by creating an icon in Double
Commander (DC allows
the user to create iconized links to scripts and programs). There are
two panes in the DC
file manager. I highlight one file in each then click. This saves
typing two full paths in
a command
meld path/to/file1 path/to/file2
I suspect the highlight and click makes my use of meld reasonably
attractive. I'm not sure
I'd use it in the raw command line mode.
Like Duncan, I welcome suggestions for similar tools, especially if
there's a display option.

I agree absolutely about the lack of readability of patch files. A
side by side display is much nicer. If anyone out there isn't using
one, you should.
I really like the one I use ("Beyond Compare"), but it's not open
source. I've been using it for a very long time (20 years or more, I
think), and I suspect there are very good open source competitors out
there now (and may have been for all the time I've been using BC).
Suggestions?
