[SCM] Conflicts: difference between "mine" and mer


GIUSEFFI William (1654) | asked Nov 15 '11, 11:58 a.m.
When having a conflict: it seems the actions "resolve with mine" and "resolve as merged" have the same effects.
What is the difference ?
If there is no difference, why having these 2 possibilities and not only one ? It is quite confusing.

It is a bit subtle (a friendly name for "confusing").
The "resolve with mine" just takes whatever you have in your workspace,
and makes that the result of the merge (after a pop-up warning).
The "resolve as merge" first checks to make sure that you actually have
changed the file (it assumes that if there has been a change, that the
change is the result of some merge tool you have invoked).

So the only difference is whether it does the "has file been changed" check.

Cheers,
Geoff
