[PATCH v13] 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.
