I found out that the current ediff-directories seems to pay attention
to the end-of-line for that file. I was doing a diff of two versions
of BSD ppp-2.1.2 and every file was different. From the directory
listing. However, when I visited them, the ediff control frame showed
zero diffs. Ie, "= h" did not hide these files. At first I thought
that the attributes might be responsible as the files look identical
unless you do a find-file-literally.
I would suspect that a similar thing might be happening with the
`ediff-revisions' and 'vc-directory' commands. This is probably a
particularly common thing for Gnu NTEmacs. Could someone who
understands Elisp better do a compare of the ediff package and see it
treats line endings differently? I tried this on my machine, but I
started to get lost as the ediff package is also running binaries
(diff, cmp, etc) and I don't understand processes in Elisp all that
well.
hth,
Bill Pringlemeir.
