As subversion can do as much as WinMerge (with TortoiseSVN), and is really better for developpers than WinMerge alone (though more complicated, since it requires to install a server somewhere, for example on the developper machine itself). WinMerge can be integrated with TortoiseSVN (so that it is used instead of Tortoise merge tool). Now I'm used to Subversion, I just can't imagine developing anything without it... However, I'm not sure it's a good idea to begin to list here all softwares that can be used to work with (text) files. --[[User:Youen|Youen]] 17:47, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

:Because WinMerge is a utility designed solely for file comparison/merging, while Subversion is a revision control system which happens to include file comparison/merging support (using the standard "diff" utility, no less). It would be akin to somebody asking for a spellchecker and recommending that they use Microsoft Word. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 17:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

:Well, I ''would'' recommend Word (or equivalent) to a Windows user, because if he does not already have it, it would be worth installing and discover it anyway. But more seriously, I agree with the fact that Subversion is clearly not essential to play this game, or even modify it. [[User:Youen|Youen]] 21:03, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
