I now proceed thru a shell script to checkout previous version and perform gvimdiff asynchronously to git. works like a charm :) On 8/21/06, A.J.Mechelynck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I don't know git (and on SuSE 9.3 I have no program of that name in my $PATH) but the command-line for gvimdiff is typically something like gvimdiff filename.ext.old filename.ext The answer may be as simple as taking backup copies of your files.
