XML diff/XML patch
 

Hi,

I'm looking for a tool which can build XML patch files and then apply
them. Specifically, I'd like the patches to be applied in an
associative fashion, so if I have a patch that does A->B and a patch
that does A->C, I'd like to be able to apply both patches to A in
either order. I know that this can't be done in the general case, but
I'd like a tool which will try and fail if it isn't possible.

I also need it to be namespace aware. Yes, I want the moon on a stick.

I've looked at the obvious tools in Google land and a lot of them seem
to be immature or untouched for years. I've started poking around in
these, but I wondered whether anybody had any direct experience.

Thanks in advance,

Peter

We saw lengthy discussions about diff tools in the past.
Google for it.
