On TortoiseSVN... this is what I am doing:
1. I have a repository in /svn/projects
2. I create a file /svn/projects/trunk/File.txt
3. I create a branch at /svn/branches/version-1.0/File.txt
4. I modify both the files (at trunk as well as branch)
5. Now, I right click and go for merging ("Merge..." option). The from URL
is "trunk/File.txt" and to URL "version-1.0/File.txt".
Changes in projects/File.txt
- Line 10: "New content in Main"
Changes in branches/File.txt
- Line 10: "New content in branch".
Tortoise merges without any complaint. It overwrites the file in "From
URL" and the content from "To URL" is retained, i.e., I finally have the
file with following content;
- Line 10: "New content in branch".
Is this expected behaviour? If so, how can tell the tortoiseCVS to ask to
"manually resolve these conflicts"?
