You would like to have the worst of all three?

1. dangerous menu options
2. incomprehensible diff -c output
3. and a config option on top of it

I think we should have none of them.

Yes, I suggested diff -c, but after seeing how it works (better: not works), I changed my mind.

What sort of user guidance is it to present alluring menu options "Use local/remote version", but at the same time a scaring amount of diff -c output.
