Default is on.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><span class="emphasis"><em>Follow File Links:</em></span></span></dt><dd><p> For links to files: When disabled, then + the symbolic links are compared.

When enabled then the link will + be treated like a directory and it will be scanned recursively. (Note that + the program doesn't check if the link is "recursive". So for example a directory + that contains a link to the directory would cause an infinite loop, and after + some time when the stack overflows or all memory is used up, crash the program.) + Default is off.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><span class="emphasis"><em>Case Sensitive Filename Comparison:</em></span></span></dt><dd><p> + Default is false on Windows, true for other operating systems.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><span class="emphasis"><em>File Comparison Mode:</em></span></span></dt><dd><p> +<div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><span class="emphasis"><em>Binary Comparison:</em></span></span></dt><dd><p> + This is the default file comparison mode. + </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><span class="emphasis"><em>Full Analysis:</em></span></span></dt><dd><p> + Do a full analysis of each file and show the statistics information columns. + (Number of solved, unsolved, nonwhite and white conflicts.) + The full analysis is slower than a simple binary analysis, and much + slower when used on files that don't contain text. + (Specify the appropriate file-antipatterns.) + </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><span class="emphasis"><em>Trust the modification date:</em></span></span></dt><dd><p> If you compare big directories + over a slow network, it might be faster to compare the modification dates + and file length alone.
