Provided by Matthew Aldous in PR 18970.
Updated to version 1.12 by Duncan McEwan and tidied up by me.
The FHist package contains 3 utilities, a file history tool ``fhist'',
a file comparison tool ``fcomp'', and a file merging tool ``fmerge'.
All three are bundled together, because they all use the same algorithm.
fhist
Keeps track of versions of a file. It works correctly when given
binary files as input. See fhist(1) for more information.
fcomp
Compares two versions of a file, usually line-for- line textual
comparison. It is capable of comparing two binary files byte-for-byte.
See fcomp(1) for more information.
fmerge
Merges together edits from two descendants of a file. See fmerge(1)
for more information.
The history tool presented here, fhist, is a minimal history tool.
It provides no locking or branching. This can be useful in contexts
where the configuration management or change control be being
provided by some other tool.
