[pmwiki-users] Sync of local pmwiki with remote pmwiki

[Radu]

Just a few pointers, cos I'm still looking for the answer. :)

Component Software has a set of tools for doing quite accurate diffs 
(AFAICT, smaller diffs than the gnu diff)
http://www.componentsoftware.com/Products/RCSBrowser/index.htm

And for even more precise diffs, try WinMerge
http://winmerge.sourceforge.net/

These are good if you have both file trees on the same windows 
machine, and they're both very time-consuming on large directories 
(not something you'd like to do in a cron job).

Unfortunately, I don't know of any tool (Unix or otherwise) that does 
automatic merging of changes between two changed files. cvs and rcs 
lock files when they're open for editing.

I had suggested at least a notice of editing-in-progress on pmwiki, 
but it turns out it's rather difficult to know when the editing ends.
