Hi Kevin, I have to ask, automatic merging seems like it defeats the purpose of branching, so why build the tool? Not trying to deflate you, just want to understand the reasons because I would have thought that you created the branch for a reason.

I've paid particular attention to tools that will be of use to TFS users. I have decided to begin work on an automated merging tool. I will be getting the web site up and running soon, and announcing an early access program for those that would like to be a beta tester and give me feedback. The product will be designed for teams that have complex branching/merging scenarios, including service pack branches, branches for customized versions of the software, feature branches, team branches, etc. The tool will make it much easier for teams to manage frequent check-ins and builds in these environments. Initially I will be supporting TFS and Subversion, and possibly a couple other SCM tools (ClearCase, Perforce, ?). Wish me luck! If anyone has any thoughts on this subject, I'd love to hear them. Thanks. - Kevin Dietz ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/oztfs Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/oztfs Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
