Note to those unfamilar with MFC:

• In this repo, dialog layout is stored in *.rc files.
• Although text based editing is possible, they are re-written (and re-ordered) by designer tool.
• Git treats these as binary files.
• The can be diffed by external (to git) diff tools, but due to re-ordering this can be difficult.
• To diff these files, it may be easiest to copy and diff sections of the file individually.
