# Detailed usage information at the end of the file
#
# TODO/IDEAS: - option to call external pre-processing codes
#
# version 1.1.1:
# - better detection of RCS system
# - undocumented option --debug/--nodebug to override default setting for debug mode (Default: 0)#
# - bug fix: --flatten option combined with --pdf caused confusion of old and new file
#
# version 1.1.0:
#
# - with option --flatten and version control option, checkout the whole tree into a temporary directory
# (use svn info + checkout ; git archive )
# - add option --only-changes to output only changed pages (in combination with --ps or --pdf option)
# version 1.0.4:
# - [ Patch #3486 contributed by cbarbu] add additional compilation for styles using chbar + avoid pdf/postscripts repeat in the code
# version 1.0.3: Bug fix: replace use of system('cp...') with File::Copy::copy (Patch contributed by D. Bremner)
# Quotes around system call file arguments to allow filenames with spaces (Patch contributed by ssteve)
# version 1.0.2: - option --so to use latexdiff-so
# version 1.0.1 (change version numbering to match that of latexdiff)
# - Option --fast to use latexdiff-fast,
# - git support (thanks to Bjorn Magnus Mathisen, Santi BĂ©jar, Pietro Battiston and Stefan Alfredson for patches) - UNTESTED
# version 0.25:
# - bbl is allowed as alternative extension (instead of .tex)
# version 0.26a
# - Bug fix: it copes now correctly with the possibility that there are no changes between current
# and archived version

=head1 NAME
latexdiff-vc - wrapper script that calls latexdiff for different versions of a file under version management (CVS, RCS or SVN)
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<latexdiff-vc> [ F<latexdiff-options> ] [ F<latexdiff-vc-options> ] B<-r> [F<rev1>] [B<-r> F<rev2>] F<file1.tex> [ F<file2.tex> ...]
or
B<latexdiff-vc> [ F<latexdiff-options> ] [ F<latexdiff-vc-options> ][ B<--postscript> | B<--pdf> ] F<old.tex> F<new.tex>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
I<latexdiff-vc> is a wrapper script that applies I<latexdiff> to a
file, or multiple files under version control (git, subversion (SVN), mercurial (hg), CVS, RCS), and optionally runs the
sequence of C<latex> and C<dvips> or C<pdflatex> commands necessary to
produce pdf or postscript output of the difference tex file(s). It can
also be applied to a pair of files to automatise the generation of difference
file in postscript or pdf format.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<--rcs>, B<--svn>, B<--cvs>, B<--git> or B<--hg>
Set the version system.
If no version system is specified, latexdiff-vc will venture a guess.
latexdiff-cvs, latexdiff-rcs etc are variants of latexdiff-vc which default to
the respective versioning system. However, this default can still be overridden using the options above.
=item B<-r>, B<-r> F<rev> or B<--revision>, B<--revision=>F<rev>
Choose revision (under RCS, CVS, SVN, GIT or HG). One or two B<-r> options can be
specified, and they result in different behaviour:
=over 4
=item B<latexdiff-vc> -r F<file.tex> ...
compares F<file.tex> with the most recent version checked into RCS.
=item B<latexdiff-vc> -r F<rev1> F<file.tex> ...
compares F<file.tex> with revision F<rev1>.
=item B<latexdiff-vc> -r F<rev1> -r F<rev2> F<file.tex> ...
compares revisions F<rev1> and F<rev2> of F<file.tex>.
Multiple files can be specified for all of the above options. All files must have the
extension C<.tex>, though.
=item B<latexdiff-vc> F<old.tex> F<new.tex>
compares two files.
=back
The name of the difference file is generated automatically and
reported to stdout.
=item B<-d> or B<--dir> B<-d> F<path> or B<--dir=>F<path>
Rather than appending the string C<diff> and optionally the version
numbers given to the output-file, this will prepend a directory name C<diff>
to the
original filename, creating the directory and subdirectories should they not exist already. This is particularly useful in order to clone a
complete directory hierarchy. Optionally, a pathname F<path> can be specified, which is prepended instead of C<diff>.
=item B<--flatten,--flatten=keep-intermediate>
If combined with C<--git>, C<--svn> or C<--hg> option or the corresponding modes, check out the revisions to compare in a separate temporary directory, and then pass on option C<--flatten> to latexdiff. The directory in which C<latexdiff-vc> is invoked defines the subtree which will be checked out.
Note that if additional files are needed which are not included in the flatten procedure (package files, included graphics), they need to be accessible in the current directory. If you use bibtex, it is recommended to include the C<.bbl> file in the version management.
The generic usage of this function is : C<latexdiff-vc --flatten -r rev1 [-r rev2] master.tex> where master.tex is the project file containing the highest level of includes etc.
With C<--flatten=keep-intermediate>, the intermediate revision snapshots are kept in the current directory (Default is to store them in a temporary directory and delete them after generating the diff file.)
=item B<--fast> or B<--so>
Use C<latexdiff-fast> or C<latexdiff-so>, respectively (instead of C<latexdiff>).
=item B<--ps> or B<--postscript>
Generate postscript output from difference file. This will run the
sequence C<latex; latex; dvips> on the difference file (do not use
this option in the rare cases, where three C<latex> commands are
required if you care about correct referencing). If the difference
file contains a C<\bibliography> tag, run the sequence C<latex;
bibtex; latex; latex; dvips>.
=item B<--pdf>
Generate pdf output from difference file using C<pdflatex>. This will
run the sequence C<pdflatex; pdflatex> on the difference file, or
C<pdflatex; bibtex; pdflatex; pdflatex> for files requiring bibtex.
=item B<--only-changes>
Post-process the output such that only pages with changes on them are displayed. This requires the use of subtype ZLABEL
in latexdiff, which will be set automatically, but any manually set -s option will be overruled (also requires zref package to
be installsed). (note that this option must be combined with --ps or --pdf to make sense)
=item B<--force>
Overwrite existing diff files without asking for confirmation. Default
behaviour is to ask for confirmation before overwriting an existing difference
file.
=item B<--help> or
B<-h>
Show help text
=item B<--version>
Show version number
=back
All other options are passed on to C<latexdiff>.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<latexdiff>
=head1 PORTABILITY
I<latexdiff-vc> uses external commands and is therefore
limited to Unix-like systems. It also requires the a version control
system and latex to be installed on the system to make use of all features. Modules from Perl 5.8
or higher are required.
=head1 BUG REPORTING
Please submit bug reports using the issue tracker of the github repository page I<https://github.com/ftilmann/latexdiff.git>,
or send them to I<tilmann -- AT -- gfz-potsdam.de>. Include the version number of I<latexdiff-vc>
(option C<--version>).
