Thanks Mark. I didn't know about the shift-select feature. That is great.
I am using the collabnet merge client, however this dialogue still
appears when you choose the "merge two different trees" option.
Incidentally, even with the shift-select feature, one use case that this
dialogue doesn't really cover is when you want to roll something back,
ie merge from a later revision to an earlier one to remove some change.
It always assumes that the earlier revision is the FROM and the later
the TO. However that's a minor niggle and occurs rarely enough its no
problem to just enter them manually in that case.
Thanks.
