项目历史

The official repository was created in 2015 and the README describes the motivation: FileMerge ships with Apple's developer tools and is useful interactively, but its `opendiff` command does not match the blocking argument conventions expected by tools such as Subversion. The scripts adapt FileMerge to those command-line interfaces.

采用历史

Official evidence points to a niche, Mac-specific developer utility rather than a broad platform project. Its adoption surface is package-manager installation plus direct Makefile installation into `/usr/local/bin` for users who want FileMerge in Subversion or Mercurial.

使用方式

The README documents `fmdiff` as a `diff`-like command for `svn diff --diff-cmd`, `fmdiff3` as a `diff3`-like command for update and merge operations, `fmresolve` for resolving existing Subversion conflicts, and `fmmerge` as an external merge tool.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

fmdiff is package-nerd significant as the kind of glue utility Homebrew preserves well: a small script set that normalizes a GUI developer tool into classic Unix command contracts. It also reflects an era when Mac developers frequently bridged Xcode tools with Subversion and Mercurial command-line workflows.
