Comparing File Versions
MPS allows you to compare the local copy of a file with its repository versions. The following options are possible:
- Compare your local copy with the repository version to which you have last synchronized
- If somebody else has committed changes since your last update compare your local copy with newest repository version
- Compare your local version with any repository version
For some version control systems, it is possible to compare a file with a branch version. The differences are displayed in the Differences viewer.
