It may be worth mentioning that Git is technically not the kind of
comparison utility that OP asks for, per se. It has commands for viewing
source diffs, but it delegates that work to other programs. I am not sure
what Git's default diff viewer is; it may well be Unix's diff, in which case
you're not getting a whole lot of advantage over CMPPFM. I know Git lets you
choose which viewer you want to use, so you could use something more
sophisticated, like kdiff3.
In fact, there are quite a few nice diff tools for Windows or that are
cross-platform. If you're specifically looking for such a tool, there's no
need to involve Git. (So you could just use kdiff3 on its own, for example.)
Git is something to look into if you really want the version control it
offers. (Which could be a good idea, but is beyond the scope of the question
asked.)
