There's an issue with the Cirrus commandline and usage from Synergy that I've been ignoring because I can circumvent it on Linux. However, as it isn't so easy to avoid on Windows, I really should tell you about so you can consider whether you can change your command lines...
The basic problem is the Synergy invocation of custom compare/merge tools does not work properly with your /keyword=value construct. Unfortunately even though the values are specified using keywords like %file1_label, the some values are not being replaced if they are not preceded by a space (fortunately the actual filename keywords are).
So - to my request for consideration: Could you extend the command line handling to also allow -kwd value style options (/kwd value on Windows) as well as the -kwd=value form ?
Oh - nearly forgot ;) - also, it appears Cirrus returns a code indicating the number of differences found when used in compare mode. Unfortunately Synergy detects this on exit as a "failure detected in external application". Could we have an option to disable this return code?
