You can set 'Show functions' option in diff settings to true. As a result in 'text' tab you will get the function name for each change. Essentially this will be the output of a diff command.
Hunk selection view is self explaining, you just select hunks with its help. Probably this could be merged with the text view but still for me the text view is the best for understanding the difference between the uncommitted version and the repository version. And 'Commit preview' tab gives you the understanding what exactly you are going to commit to the repository given you selected just some of the hunks, not all of them. So, in short, the difference between the tabs is as follows: 1. 'Text Diff' shows the difference between your working directory and the tip repository version 2. 'Hunk Selection' permits you to select just some of the changes for current commit operation 3. 'Commit preview' shows the difference between the version you are about to commit and the repository tip. 1 and 3 will be the same if all hunks are selected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
