Contributor panes

Contributor panes show the file or directory contents of a given contributor to a comparison or merge. These panes are arranged either horizontally or vertically and are numbered.

If the contributor panes are arranged horizontally, the base contributor (labeled Base in the title bar) appears on the left, the to-version (labeled To-version in the title bar) appears on the right, and all other contributors appear between them. If the contributor panes are arranged vertically, the base contributor appears at the top, the to-version appears on the bottom, and all other contributors appear between them.

If you are comparing or merging files, the contributor panes display the text contents of the files or versions being compared. If you are comparing or merging directories, the contributor panes display the contents of the directories, showing the name, creation date, and creator of the file or subdirectory.
