UltraCompare, which is pretty good; I gave it try because I settled on UltraEdit
for my Windows text editor (when not in eclipse, that is) after hunting around
and trying several. It's a really programmer editor, you can plug in
syntax hightlight definitions so I've added ruby, python, etc to the stock set
of basic rules it ships with.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

space. But.. trouble is I'm running into this running sync tools for
subclipse in Eclipse, and I dont' think that's very configurable. (I'll
re-check, though)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

inconsistent about svn:eol-style props - i find native, LF, and not set.
Seems like that should be set to native on .rb files (and probably .html as
well), then subversion generally just does the right thing at checkout
time.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
