We have some directories that are tracked in both CVS and SVN (loooong story). When I change a file in one of these and run meld it diffs it against the SVN version. However for some of the other developers it diffs against CVS. Is there a way to specify which one gets priority? Everyone is using Meld 1.3.0

Is there an easy way to compare the file tree of an old git commit with the working file tree, in meld? git-difftool does something very similar, but I don't want it to actually do any diffing; the whole point is that the tool it is calling can provide a better interface for that. >>> More
