ediff is a comprehensive visual interface to unix diff and patch utilities.

ediff provides a convenient way for simultaneous browsing through the differences between a pair (or a triple) of files or buffers (which are called ‘variants’ for our purposes). the files being compared, filea, fileb, and filec (if applicable) are shown in separate windows (side by side, one above the another, or in separate frames), and the differences are highlighted as you step through them. you can also copy difference regions from one buffer to another (and recover old differences if you change your mind).
