Config merge is something I whipped up in response to a discussion with my colleague Jon about config files. Configuration files are always a pain in team development, and I thought this solution was interesting enough to merit a code project article. We'll see. :-)
From the introduction:
This article describes a solution to the perennial problem of config file management for multiple developers and environments. The centerpiece is a command-line tool which merges the base (default) configuration file with a truncated file (the differences or "diff" file.) This diff file contains only those elements which need to be added or changed.
You can find the article and code on code project.
