Plastic SCM blog: Unified diff of a branch
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/03
Too bad I bumped into this a long time after having been a regular PlasticSCM user: [Archive.is] Plastic SCM blog: Unified diff of a branch:
Learn how to create a custom action to run a unified diff operation for a Plastic SCM branch.
It is an open source tool called unifiedbranchdiff.exe at github, and seems based on a cm path for getting paths, and cm patch for generating the actual patch, and needing external GNU tools diff and patch (hopefully it also works with more recent versions than the woefully outdated 2007 Win32 versions of [WayBack] DiffUtils 2.8.7 for Windows and [WayBack] Patch 2.5.9 for Windows).
