Re: Version Control
LV VIs are indeed binary, and they shouldn't be merged by external tools. The LV PDS (Pro Dev Suite) includes connections to a few external SCC tools, and an internal diff utility. It does a graph comparison looking for nodes that are considered to be the most similar, and works outward along the edges of the graph until it can describe the differences.
In other words, this is sort of like comparing lines of a file and deciding which are most similar, etc. But it is also quite different, and unless an external tool knows about the LV graph, they can store, compress, and retrieve, but should not merge.
