LVCompare.exe can compare VIs with the same name

[shb]

When LVCompare.exe is called with two VIs with the same name an error is shown. Instead it could copy one of the VIs to a different name or open one in a new Project. This would make live with some Version Control tools easier.

It is probably the same with LVmerge.exe

This is indeed a limiting issue when using LVCompare with an external SCC. To my knowledge all SCC tools that provide a merge function present different filename for each 'base' file.

I recommend using SCC to call LVCompare.exe, which will rename the files for you when you invoke a diff operation.  More info

I use an SCC, but Mercurial does not rename the file but place it in a different folder.
