Beyond Compare is a cross-platform proprietary data comparison utility. The program is able to compare files and multiple types of directories, as well as archives.[1] Beyond Compare can be configured as a difftool and mergetool of version control systems, such as git.[2]
In an April 2009 review, Beyond Compare received four out of five rating stars from CNET. The reviewers initially found the user interface to be "a little overwhelming," but they "quickly got the hang of it" after using the program for a while.[3] PC World writer Michael Desmond included the program in a 2005 list of utilities for a "Trouble-Free PC" and praised its "watch list" feature.[4] Beyond Compare also was featured in the March 2005 issue of the Windows IT Pro magazine in the "What's Hot" section.[5]
Scott Mitchell, writing for MSDN Magazine, identified the program's comparison rules as its most powerful feature.[6] The customizable rules control which differences between two files should be flagged as such. A set of predefined rules is included for the comparison of common file types, such as C++ source code, XML, and HTML files.[6]
in windows I am able to use winmerge as the external diff tool for hg using mercurial.ini,etc.
Using some options switch that you can find in web(I think it's a japanese website)Anyway, herefor example:
I also found that it is important to NOT include Beyond Compare in extdiff section so it will use beyondcompare3 from the merge-tools section with diffargs arguments. (I have beyondcompare3 specified in both ui.merge and tortoisehg.vdiff)
If you are having trouble getting your configuration to parse correctly please note that any space for any variable or section name will cause the configuration to parse incorrectly. I kept copying and pasting different configures and continued to get errors. It just ended up that spaces were added before many of the variables and it caused it not to parse.
If you are using TortoiseHg, you can set the merge tool to Beyond Compare by choosing File -> Settings, and then on the TortoiseHg choice, select Visual Diff Tool and Three-way Merge Tool. This setting affects merges which are set through the command line as well.
Up until recently, when I compare a file in the latest commit on the currently active branch with an earlier commit on the same branch, the earlier commit file would show in source tree in a temp directory, such as C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Local\Temp\Mxm5Gc_requestHandler.cfc.
It was messy in as much as it took a long time to figure this out and several uninstalls / reinstall of git and sourcetree before it eventually seemed to realise that it was using the new (older) version of Git.
Remember. Take a look back over the titles of each post in this series. What depth this God has. He is not just our Comforter, not just in Control, but all these things and so much more too. He is beyond compare.
The following juxtapositions address the most various aspects of the exhibition in the Bode Museum and invite visitors not only to compare, contrast and interpret the objects, but also to re-examine their own attitudes in making comparisons.
Both of these figures are masterpieces of metal casting, but each expresses that mastery differently. The winged putto balances ingeniously on a shell. Turning on his own axis, he beats out a rhythm on a tambourine. The statuette from Benin is less focused on movement than on a wealth of detail, ornamentation and highly contrasted surface rendering.
The statuette from the Kingdom of Benin represents the goddess Irhevbu or the Princess Edeleyo and probably formed part a memorial altar or a shrine for the archer Ake, who was worshipped as a god.
The Benin sculpture had probably been in its original African context until 1897, the year when British troops marched into the Kingdom of Benin, plundered the royal palace and sent the king into exile. Many valuable objects were plundered, brought to Britain and sold.
When it was bought, Donatello's sculpture was regarded as a Renaissance masterpiece and treated accordingly. By contrast, the Benin sculpture was treated first and foremost as an ethnological exhibit, so the museum official in charge of it probably thought nothing of marking it with an inscription.
When we are afraid, we seek protection. To find protection from hunger, war, and disease, people in Europe in the late Middle Ages prayed to a figure type known as the Madonna of Mercy, depicted sheltering the faithful in her cloak. These depictions of the Virgin Mary could be found in many churches, where they were worshipped. The power figure (mangaaka) from the Congo region also served the protection of a community. Equipped with superhuman forces, it was intended to ward off dangers, punish crimes, and cure diseases.
The Virgin of Mercy was probably part of an altarpiece before which worshippers kneeled. Mary is supernaturally large compared to those seeking protection under her cloak, and this emphasizes her importance and the hope placed in her.
Order and justice form central themes in all human societies. The frieze from Grningen (Saxony-Anhalt) was part of a depiction of the Last Judgement, which according to Christian belief would bring about final justice. Christ faces the viewer frontally, fixing us with his eyes. The African mask also uses eye contact as a warning and regulating force. The mask was activated in a ritual that warned against breaking the rules, and punished those who did so.
Every time believers entered the church they were reminded that one day they would have to account for their actions before Christ, the judge of the world. Paradise awaited the blessed, Hell the damned.
Among the Fang people in Cameroon and Gabon the Ngil society dealt with identifying and punishing evildoers well into the 20th century. Using terrifying masks the society carried out a kind of inquisition.
Today images of mothers with children are viewed in Europe as classic representations of intimate bonding. In other societies and periods, however, depictions of motherhood have meant different things. The pfemba, for example, played an important role in fertility rituals north of the Congo River. They were also used to reinforce claims to power or as links to the world of the ancestors. The figural group of the Madonna and Child reminds viewers of the incarnation of God and also alludes to the Passion this small child will suffer.
The wood-brown sculpture we see today was once richly painted in different colours. In contrast to the vividness of their clothing, the delicate colour of the skin on their faces and hands emphasized the close bond between the mother and the child.
The pfemba figure has probably also lost its original colour. In the context of their ritual use, such figures were often coated with layers of mpemba (white kaolin clay) and tukula (red redwood soil).
Hans Leinberger, working around 450 years earlier, conveyed the power of the Christian saviour in a very different manner. Only the crown of thorns, placed on his head in scorn by the Roman soldiers who mistreated and mocked him, identifies the exhausted man as Christ.
Both these objects set animals and humans in motion. The headdress, which unites a roan antelope, an aardvark and a pangolin into a single creature, revealed its full effect when worn in agricultural rites associated with clearing the fields, accompanied by music and shouting. The extravagant work of silver of Diana on the Stag, by contrast, served as an entertainment piece at courtly festivals. The stag and dog were drinking vessels with removable heads.
In the creation myth of the Bamana of Mali the primordial being tyi wara, who took the form of an animal, taught agriculture to mankind. In his honour people wore antelope headdresses and performed a were danced at rituals associated with the clearing of the fields.
It skilfully combines the horns of the antelope with other animals of significance in the Bamana culture: the lower portion is reminiscent of an aardvark, while the middle part of the body resembles a pangolin.
A Diana deer group from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is set in motion again after 200 years of standstill.
Videos of tyi wara masks in motion or automata in action reveal the extent to which placing these objects in static museum displays alienates them from their original functions.
The female figure on the African double image also wears no clothing. Her rounded belly appears to carry an unborn child, and her head is slightly bowed. Nothing in her appearance suggests seduction. The position of her hands, laid on her breasts, is instead a classical gesture referring to the Luba belief that certain women carried the secrets of the kingdom in their bodies.
The objects in this pairing appear particularly similar at first glance. Both consist of two human figures standing back to back. The relationship between the two figures, however, could hardly be more different.
The Luba object presents two elements that harmoniously complement each other. The female and the male stand as equally valuable parts of a larger whole. Women were respected as the messengers and advisors of kings in the Luba kingdom, and seen as divine agents by the male rulers.
My oversight was to make the folder names very similar. Users began copying working files into the new Team folder before I was ready to do a cut-over, ugh. I chatted with Dropbox support & asked if there was any utility to do folder comparison, but they said there's nothing native to Dropbox environment for that, unfortunately.

I have worked out how to use it on local file sets but you mention a Dropbox API. I want to be able to compare my local files with those backed up to Drop box just to make sure it is actually happening as there are some 200,000 of them.
