Use Visual Studio 2012's built-in comparer

[SLaks]

VS2012 has a built-in differ, which allows the current file to be edited with full IntelliSense (as long as it was opened from the project)

Can GitSCP use this in VS2012?

(Either from right-click, Compare, and perhaps also embedded in the right pane)

To use vs 2012's built differ, the command is devenv /diff .

Currently GitSCP supports setting the path the diff tool, but it does not support command line options. It is being work on.

I already tried that, by writing a batch script to add the command-line
option.

However, the resulting diff view has neither syntax highlighting nor
in-project auto-complete.
To support that, I believe you need to invoke the diff from the VS API
directly.

Thanks for the hint. I'll search VS API then.
