Merging XML files

Hi,

I realise that many many people in the games industry despise XML as a file format, myself included, but sometimes it really is unavoidable. (Visual Studio project files, anyone?)

Equally unavoidable is the necessity to compare or merge XML files - especially if your team is using some form of SCM software.

Finally being fed up with trying to resolve thousands of artificial conflicts due to the merge tool I was using treating XML as a regular text file, I decided to do something about it. Project: Merge is a tool that can compare and merge XML files *as* XML and not as text. More information can be found on the Project: Merge website at http://www.projectmerge.com

I hope some of you will find it useful.

Cool, I've heard of this being done for JSON, but I've not seen an implementation of the idea for XML before.

Ah right, apologies for not spotting that forum myself.
