[PATCH v6] Support auto-merge for meld to follow the vim-diff behavior

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Lin Sun <lin.sun@xxxxxxx>

Make the mergetool used with "meld" backend behave similarly to how
"vimdiff" behavior by telling it to auto-merge parts without conflicts
and highlight the parts with conflicts when configuring
`mergetool.meld.useAutoMerge` with `true`, or `auto` for automatically
detecting the option.

    Enable auto-merge for meld to follow the vimdiff beharior
    
    Hi, the mergetool "meld" does NOT merge the no-conflict changes, while
    the mergetool "vimdiff" will merge the no-conflict changes and highlight
    the conflict parts. This patch will make the mergetool "meld" similar to
    "vimdiff", auto-merge the no-conflict changes, highlight conflict parts.
