It will launch a diff tool for you though. Emacs springs to mind as a
possibility. I had this working once, but with my current combination of
Cygwin unison and NTEmacs, I never got it to work. Planner files
should diff fairly well, I'd have though. 

I've used unison for many years now on a considerable proportion on my
home space and it works excellently well. In practise, both planner
and gnus caused me some grief: gnus because everything changes
regularly (.overview and .marks!); and planner because it changes lots
of things per day. If planner was more careful about changing things
only when absolutely essential, this would probably work better and
you'd have fewer conflicts. 

In my case, getting this to work with gnus required me to be a little
careful with the synch'ing anyway, so planner generally just worked.
