Re: Bug? External merge program corrupts working copy?

I appreciate the clarification on how this is supposed to work.

But, when I use the "Resolved" menu item, it DOES modify the original file.
It doesn't merely delete the temporary files.

Is there any reason why TortoiseMerge doesn't support Unicode? Who are the
developers on that part of the project? If Tortoise Merge supported at least
some Unicode Code Pages, I wouldn't be having this dilemma. :-)
