Re: merging xml files

Hi Paul,

thanks for this quick answer!
Can you give me a tip where I can hook the "update" action to determine
with an other diff tool whether there is a conflict or not and indicate
to the user where the conflict is in such a case or simply merge without
any other warning to the user ?
many thanks
gabriel
