I am using Beyond Compare 4.0 beta (build 18746) on Mac OS X 10.9.4 with Git 2.1.0.
I have configured Git to use bcomp as shown here.
When BC opens, both sides of the directory structure are shown, but BC doesn't properly compare the files. It creates two entries for each file (one for each side), so that both sides show alternating rows of filenames and empty space (file names on one side always appear across from empty space on the other side.) In other words, all files appear as orphans, even though they aren't orphans. The files on the right appear to be treated like symlinks, while the files on the left do not.
Double clicking an empty row on the left (or a file in the same row on the right) causes BC to display the path to the file that appears on the right. Double clicking a file on the left (or the empty space in the same row on the right) causes BC to show a diff for the file that shows its contents being removed (all content appears on the left side of the file diff, no content appears on the right.)
This seems completely broken. Does BC4 support git --dir-diff?
And one more unrelated question, is it possible for BC4 to automatically expand a folder structure when it first opens? This functionality seems to have appeared in earlier versions of BC but I don't see an equivalent setting in 4.0.
Thanks!
