[PATCH v7] 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
"vimdiff" by telling it to auto-merge non-conflicting parts and
highlight the conflicting parts when `mergetool.meld.useAutoMerge` is
configured with `true`, or `auto` for detecting the `--auto-merge`
option automatically.

    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.
