Hi Chris, Great post, I'm sure that'll help out a lot of people.
I'm currently the lead dev on Versions, so I figured I'd take a crack at answering the question of "Why doesn't Black Pixel already have this in there?" The easy answer: we (Black Pixel) haven't done a release yet since getting these apps from Sofa. I've got a bug fix release that's just about ready to roll out. Give us a bit of time and we'll try to impress you. :) That's not a very good answer though. Since I never worked at Sofa, I can't give you a definitive answer for why this feature isn't present in Versions. My gut feeling is that because not all diff'ing apps support 3-way merge, it might be non-trivial to generalize that in a way that won't confuse users. Having one drop down for "what diff tool would you like" and another for "what merge tool would you like" for cases where the 3rd party diff tool doesn't support 3-way merge, well that's a little messy for the user. The fact is, I don't know why this feature isn't currently present. I'll take this as a feature request, and we'll see what we can do about that in a future version. Cheers.
