Subversion merge tool

[themel-mirai]

Hi,

I've been playing with Flare 7 and its Subversion integration recently and I can't quite wrap my head around the way the merge tool works. I understand that by default we're using Copy-Modify-Merge here and so I can't expect to have exclusive access to the topic that I'm editing. So, when I try to check in my changes, I might run into the fact that someone else has modified my topic and I now need to merge the changes. When I choose to open the merge tool, I get to see three panes - my local version on the left, something that looks a lot like the base version before I did my local changes on the right, and the supposedly merged version at the bottom.

I would expect the left pane to contain the repository's current HEAD revision with changes relative to the common base highlighted so that I can actually merge my changes and those in the remote document. Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding how merge is supposed to work? I haven't found a way to get any of the remote changes accepted if I run the merge tool. If I run an automatic merge instead of going into the merge tool the remote changes seem to be picked up correctly.

regards,
Thomas

We've been trying this out and can't get merge to merge at all - it just stomps over whatever is in the repository. We've raised a ticket.

Also, the right-click context menu that the Flare Help says should be available, isn't.

EDIT: That last statement may not be due to user error, but we are still seeing issues with Flare's Subversion integration.
