Ah thanks.
I was just momentarily fearful that WC was mentioned in the context of
the source and it was going to use my local changes from the trunk. The
whole (small) repo is checked out.

OK. With TortioseMerge, the one with all the coloured lines including
nasty red ones. When that gets minimized and you later want to restore
it, it's name keeps changing depending on what file was last being
resolved. There is already one called Merge but thats the 6 button dialog.

Ahha My problem was the taskbar also had many entries and I couldn't
recognise it. They weren't for merges in progress though.
I'm not that cognitive to do more than one at a time and thankfully
that's how the wizard presents the work, so how do others get multiple
minimized unfinished merges going? Rhetorical question. I'm sure there
is a way so probably no need to answer.
Thanks.
