Overview
What is Stroy?
Stroy is a graphical directory diff tool.
Tools of this kind show a structural diff, i.e. show you what files changed,
were added or deleted. Stroy does this but additionaly it shows structural changes,
i.e. moves and renames.
Stroy even matches files when they are renamed, moved and content changed.

Stroy's licence is MPL1.1
The stroy idea. Where does the name come from?
When humans read stroy a with some mispselled words or wrongly placed words they
can grasp the maening of the text still.
If a program could just do that it would have no problem tracking files to new locations
even if they are somewhat changed. It could do that without further information, no
human intervention or tracking information, i.e. no .svn dirs.
What can stroy be used for?
- Simple SCM
Just save your whole source tree to a backup location. Stroy can tell you the changes
between 2 versions.
- Syncing directories/work of 2 computers
Stroy can handle changes done to both sides. It can not merge, yet.
- After the fact diff
Stroy does not need any helper files or checkout to tell you what happened.
