Hi Mark, This bug has been fixed in the recently-released Meld 1.3.2. For the patch, see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611744 though there were several other fixes to git support, so I'd recommend upgrading. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
