I would have thought that emacs, being of such flexibility, would have had someone through the years fed up with those ediff prompts and created some lisp code (a language I do not know) to circumvent them. And so I bought a dedicated tool to do those long diffs that have to be done. I might file a FR also about this and the 3 other points mentioned at the beginning of this thread. These are, I find, basic aspects in doing any long diffs between folders and files. How old is ediff ? I guess a FR can get filed, and maybe in emacs 32 ... :) Cheers.
