It's over the behavior of ediff. I've always used ediff without any problem. That great tool always helped me re-reading the changes I've made before committing and logging a sensible comment. Now, I can't really used it anymore, as it sees every accent as being a difference between the source and the modified file... Here's an example: ,----[ Source buffer ] | Ce document présente le détail des modifications apportées... | Avant. | |----[ Modified buffer ] | Ce document présente le détail des modifications apportées... | Maintenant. `---- Needless to say that it becomes heavily difficult to distinguish the real modifications (`Avant' -> `Maintenant') from the "false positives" (`présente' -> `présente'). Note that this problem only occurs with ediff, not at all with diff (that only spots the real modifications). Any help? Thank you very much, Seb -- Sébastien Vauban
