Any diff/merge tool that provides a report (metrics) of conflicts?
- by cad
CONTEXT: I am preparing a big C# merge using visual studio 2008 and TFS. I need to create a report with the files and the number of collisions (total changes and conflicts) for each file (and in total of course)
PROBLEM: I cannot do it for two reasons (first one is solved):
1- Using TFS merge I can have access to the file comparison but I cannot export the list of conflicting files... I can only try to resolve the conflicts.
(I have solved problem 1 using beyond compare. It allows me to export the file list)
2- Using TFS merge I can only access manually for each file to get the number of conflicts... but I have more than 800 files (and probably will have to repeat it in the close future so is not an option doing it manually)
There are dozens of file comparison tools (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_comparison_tools ) but I am not sure which one could (if any) give me these metrics. I have also read several forums and questions here but are more general questions (which diff tool is better) and I am looking for a very specific report.
So my questions are:
Is Visual Studio 2010 (using
still TFS2008) capable of doing such
reports/exportation?
Is there any
tool that provide this kind of
metrics (Now I am trying Beyond Compare)
