Description John Rice 2007-11-14 20:34:25 UTC
I have looked at the merge behavior on Windows. It is currently not possible to use the internal Resolve Conflict tool. 

Unofficial "Batteries Included" Windows release of Hg
--------------------------------------------------------
I have added support so if the unofficial "batteries included" release: http://qct.sourceforge.net/Mercurial-BI.html is
used it will work out of the box. In its <Mercurial Install Dir>\Mercurial.ini they have added:
[ui]
merge = "C:\Program Files\Mercurial\hgmerge.exe"

hgmerge.exe is shipped with this release.

Official Windows release of Hg
-------------------------------
If the official release is used: http://mercurial.berkwood.com/ then the user needs to modify the <Mercurial Install
Dir>\Mercurial.ini to include some other external Merge tool such as kdiff3, as it is not shipped with any on Windows:
[ui]
merge = "C:\Program Files\Mercurial\kdiff3.cmd"

Obtainable from:
http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/

Info on other merge tools:

This all needs to be release noted.
