Description kawazu428 2008-06-10 12:28:47 UTC
Use case: Do "merge changes" in order to, well, merge changes between two different SVN trees. Use "resolve conflicts"
on (a bunch of) files / folders then in order to get things fixed.

Actual behaviour: 
- In no situation whatsoever there is a real list of "changes" between revisions displayed. Both the "left" and the
"right" side of the merge viewer are red, and there's only the option of accepting either the "left" or the "right" side
as one big difference.
- This is all the same for all kinds of files tested (XML, .java, .css, .html, .js)

Expected behaviour: "Merge view" should actually display differences to merge in a line-by-line fasion to allow for
really merging changes not just goin' for the "either-or-decision". This should work out-of-the-box for all NetBeans
editor supported file types. So far, this does render the "Merge Changes" feature unusable.

if you open a conflicted file in the editor the there should be conflicts markers surrounding a block of conflicting
code. Now the question is how are they placed in your files - showing the whole file as in conflict with the other
version or only at the relevant places you would expect?

thanks.
Comment 3 kawazu428 2008-06-10 13:31:51 UTC
hmmm, strange, it seems the whole file is marked as "conflicting" code in all possible cases... that at least does
explain the very behaviour of the diff viewer...
Comment 4 Tomas Stupka 2008-06-10 15:42:40 UTC
well, the conflict markers are created by the svn command line the nb svn module uses. I'm afraid this is something we
can't help you with:(

however, feel free to reopen in case you should be able to merge from the cli without the described misbehavior
