When I'm merging to stable branch from trunk, I always have to choose exact same path of file that I want to merge with, but from the trunk. Maybe it would be possible to add something like "merge from trunk" option that would work with most common repository organization (there may be some more clever algorithm to find tags,branches,trunk even if they are not root directories in repo) I know it's not a clear issue and it's questionable whether nb should guess so much about my repo, but if it's not possible to add this functionality. then maybe you can give me some hints how to implement it myself? (I took a look at some devs docs, just a few hints where to find what for this issue would save me a lot of time) Thanks in advance for your time Regards, Kacper
Maybe its possible to split path into two strings such as "/branchXXX/branchYYY" and "projectZZZ/etc/somefile" where the first string could be saved for multiple usage. So we are changing "projectZZZ/etc/somefile" from Project explorer, click merge, and use the same "/branchXXX/branchYYY" as in previous merges.
(trunk|branches|tags)/project repository structure is supported (in 7.1) and the repository url combo in the merge dialog works more clever in that case
