Abstract
En 中文
The use of version control is pervasive in collaborative software projects. Version control systems are based on two primary operations: diffing two versions to compute the change between them and merging two versions edited concurrently. Recent works provide solutions to diff and merge graphics assets such as images, meshes and scenes. In this work, we present a practical algorithm to diff and merge procedural programs written as node graphs. To obtain more precise diffs, we version the graphs directly rather than their textual representations. Diffing graphs is equivalent to computing the graph edit distance, which is known to be computationally infeasible. Following prior work, we propose an approximate algorithm tailored to our problem domain. We validate the proposed algorithm by applying it both to manual edits and to a large set of randomized modifications of procedural shapes and materials. We compared our method with existing state-of-the-art algorithms, showing that our approach is the only one that reliably detects user edits.
