For this <span class="application">KDiff3</span> also lets you compare and merge complete directories + recursively! +</p><p> + Even though comparing and merging directories seems to be quite obvious, + there are several details that you should know about. Most important is of + course the fact that now many files might be affected by each operation. + If you don't have backups of your original data, then it can be very hard + or even impossible to return to the original state. So before starting a merge, + make sure that your data is safe, and going back is possible. If you make + an archive or use some version control system is your decision, but even + experienced programmers and integrators need the old sources now and then. + And note that even though I (the author of <span class="application">KDiff3</span>) try to do my best, I can't + guarantee that there are no bugs. According to the GNU-GPL there is NO WARRANTY + whatsoever for this program.
