Support interactive merging of changes performed on existing files

Details

    Description

      Currently, in Forge 1, we merely prompt the users to overwrite the existing file if located. Either the existing file is lost or the changes made by Forge are not saved. No attempt is made to retain the existing file with changes performed by the user, while merging in changes performed by Forge.

      Forge should support interactive diffing and merging of the changes made on the existing file. Integration with existing diff tools in various IDEs and shells would be a plus.

      This should ideally be exposed as a service for other addons.
