Among the functionality provided in the interfaces are the ability to difference at many different levels - by files, by stream, or even by Change Package. Users may then elect to perform merges that consider not just the current state of the two elements in question, but with a tool that is aware of prior versions of the element and finds the last common ancestor to help simplify the job.
