From 0a0ec7bd66786bcc2204f299f6c993db19d1f53c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ciaran Jessup Date: Sun, 1 May 2011 23:16:02 +0100 Subject: Pass empty file to p4merge where no base is suitable. Modify the p4merge client command to pass a reference to an empty file instead of the local file when no base revision available. In the situation where a merge tries to add a file from one branch into a branch that already contains that file (by name), p4merge currently seems to have successfully automatically resolved the 'conflict' when it is opened (correctly if the files differed by just whitespace for example) but leaves the save button disabled. This means the user of the p4merge client cannot commit the resolved changes back to disk and merely exits, leaving the original (merge-conflicted) file intact on the disk. Provide an empty base file to p4merge so that it leaves the save button enabled. This will allow saving of the auto-resolution to disk.
