Re: CVS Merge vs SVN Merge - A newbie's story

Based on these documents, I guess what I'm looking for is a visual
representation of a "Dry Run". The Merge function in eclipse for CVS
did not modify anything in the working copy unless you specifically
said update or manually pull the changes over whereas subclipse
automatically merges.

Are there plans in the works for making a "synchronize-like" view for a Dry Run?
