Great - thanks so much for this feedback and link. My merge needs are straightforward, so hopefully this will suit the need! I have pulled the latest jgit updates and downloaded the four .java files that are referenced in your link. I have added these to the directory structure for jgit in the following new folder: org.spearce.jgit/src/org/spearce/jgit/merge/ However, when I try to now make_jgit.sh I am getting a series of errors (pasted below) that appear to stem from not having the same underlying files. Is it possible that I am not getting the most recent jgit release files? Or am I misunderstanding how you expect these Merge files to be used?
