Folder Comparison with Percentage Similarity?

[Alan Halls <alanjhalls gmail com>]

I am involved in a legal matter regarding an employees theft of trade secrets. In particular he stole the source code for a website that he and 2 other programmers worked on for 2 years.

I now have a copy of his project, and of course a copy of mine. I found the software Meld which seems to do a great job on a one by one basis, but it would be very time consuming to try to end up with any "score" of how much of our original code is still in his existing project.

He was sloppy and his launched public website still has our company info in the 404 page, which links you to the about us, pricing, docs, contact us pages ---- which all still have the original code in them, so there is no question about whether or not he did, just how much "custom" work did he do for himself.

I was kind of imagining a report with a total score, then the top 50 matches with each of their scores. Has anyone thought of adding that in? It seems that all that info would be available already in the program, just needing a view for it to display on.
