thanks for your help.

What exactly do you want? Do you want to compare two sets of files? Do
you want to compare a common source version with several descendants? All
of this can be done by diff:
diff --help
....
--from-file=FILE1 Compare FILE1 to all operands. FILE1 can be a
directory.
--to-file=FILE2 Compare all operands to FILE2. FILE2 can be a
directory.
diff --from-file=common version1 version2
diff -r dir1 dir2
Regards
robert

comparison and merging make Merge a compelling choice for software
developers, product release managers, web designers and other professionals

If you mean compare directories and identically-named files, under windows
windiff does the job nicely.
If you mean three-way-merge, there are a number of diffs - usuall any SCM
comes with one. For example, there's one for free with Subversion.
