Hi,

Merge worked perfectly on Ubuntu Server 8.04 machine (RAM usage never
went above 1% of 2GB) so it's more Windows junk.
Is there not a way to check out and force DOS line endings? I'm sure
there must be, I'll look it up.

Anyway, at least I have the beginnings of a work around.
I don't quite get *WHY* there's 792 conflicted files (it's an auto
generated storage layer BTW, 4 files per table, that's why there is so
many)

Here's what I think should happen:

1) A was branched to form B (trunk) and C (branch)
2) B was changed and C needed the updates. B was merged into C.
3) C was updated more, now the changes in C and the new features need
to be merged back into B.

But the changes made in (2) overlap with (3), BUT B was already merged
into C.
I thought this would be taken into account and B just gets updated,
not this.

The only thing I can think of is that due to the fact that it doesn't
really work, we turned off our Apache/Kerberos/Active Directory
intergration and replaced it with HTTP Basic Auth.
So the changes to B in (2) were done by 'james' and the changes to C
in (3) were done by 'jneave'.

And the memory problem is blatently an infinite loop or some such
kludge.

Thanks!

James.
