Yep,the base file , sometimes it appears, sometimes not, but to me it is an old version that I don’t care and make things really painfull Would be easier to see what’s going on with only 2 windows
Well the issue is that my collegue had an ancient version of my code So when I merge with his modifications, instead of having my actual latest code clean, it is all messed up, so I ended up copy pasting my new code And finaly some functions were defined twice, terrible merge experience that time From: Benjamin Fritz [mailto:fritzophre...@gmail.com] Sent: mercredi 9 décembre 2015 18:23 To: FLORENT Philippe Cc: tortoisehg-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [thg] alternative to tortoise merge tool On Dec 9, 2015 7:49 AM, "FLORENT Philippe" <philippe.flor...@edenred.com<mailto:philippe.flor...@edenred.com>> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > Is there an alternative to tortoise built in merge tool ? > > Are you talking about kdiff3? I'm pretty sure that's what TortoiseHg comes bundled with, these days. It's one of the best out there. But sure, there are alternatives.

As in, the common ancestor of the two versions of the file you're merging? That's kind of an essential part of doing easy merges in any revision control system, even SVN.
