Re: [PATCH] Add option to resolve conflicts by selecting a specific file (Issue 2784)

Hi All,
    I think I know why there is a slight verbiage disagreement. When
you create a conflict as part of an update/switch, the naming
convention is:

.rOLD, .rNEW and .mine

When you create a conflict as part of a merge, the naming convention is:

.merge-left.rOLD, .merge-right.rNEW and .working

Since the accept flag should be capable of automatically resolving any
conflict, what verbiage makes sense? There are two different sets of
verbiage now and we need to decide what to use. I think the reason
we've had some verbiage conflicts to this point is that some people
see this from the merge perspective and some see it from the
update/switch perspective.

Take care,

Jeremy
