Re: C and LabView version control with Git

Haven't gotten lvdiff to work yet, not sure what is wrong with it.

Edit: Apparently, lvdiff wants arguments... Investigating...
Edit 2: Can't figure out the diff, all it says is that they differ
If it is saying "binary files differ" it probably is still using the default diff program. Try my updated document, I think I made a bad assumption the first time, and I took out the extra download, it looks like LabView has a native diff/compare tool. Also try running "git config --list" to see all the applied configuration options.

Additionally, if when "merging" it is actually only taking one version (%A) and discarding/ignoring the conflicting version (%B) and the common base (%O), that would indicate it isn't actually merging anything, since Git expects the merged result to be written to the local copy with changes (the %A). I could just be getting the argument order mixed up, but I don't think so.
