Re: use "their" block in TortoiseMerge

Ok... well I looked at a few more files and it seems that I do get the
menus in the bottom pane ONLY when they are bright red signifying an
inline conflict. In other cases, there are some lines that are light
red (signifying deletion) and other lines that are light green
(signifying addition) and I only get the options in the upper right
pane. I can't get options in the upper left or bottom pane in those
cases, even if I highlight. Maybe that is intentional? Also, in these
cases, the lower right-hand corner states "conflicts: 0". So I wonder
why it got marked as conflicted in the first place, because it started
out with 0 conflicts.
