Description-en: Display and merge changes between two directory trees
Dirdiff can handle up to 5 trees. It displays a main window with a
list of the files which are different between the trees, with colored
squares to indicate the relative ages of the versions. A menu allows
you to display the differences between any two of the versions in
another window. Another menu allows you to copy the file from one
tree to another.
