Human readable diff output and command line tool

[chrismcg]

Hi Jonathan,

I've been playing around with a command line tool and more human readable output and was wondering what you thought? I don't consider this finished yet. I thought I'd run it by you to see if you've any ideas similar to this you haven't implemented yet.

This looks great. I love the tests and implementation; great work!

My ultimate goal is to use the yamldiff library within the context of an iOS macruby/rubymotion app for designers to work with translation and localization files within rails.

But, I also like that it can be used in other contexts as well. 👍

Heh, I just reread your initial comment after I went ahead and biased towards action here and merged it in.

If you have some revisions to add later, feel free to open up another pull request. Otherwise, I'll release a new version of the gem here in the next few days.

No worries, thanks for merging. Was thinking of two things.

1. Moving the key names to the start so it's foo.bar.baz: as I think that's easier to scan
2. Making the content diffing optional with a command line switch

WDYT?

My motivation for this is i18n related too. It will be useful both for myself and users of a rails translation management app I work on: http://www.localeapp.com

1. I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying that you'd prefer key.root.namespace over root.namespace.key?

2. Totally agree here.

Re: http://www.localeapp.com, I love it!

[chrismcg]

No, I meant root.namespace.key: rather than : root.namespace.key. Will get around to a patch soon I hope.

Glad you like localeapp :)

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I'm fine with moving the colon. :)
