Win7x64:B5 vsmerge doesn't seem to work correctly
« on: September 23, 2014, 11:50:23 PM »
I'm using the following in the TortoiseSVN->Diff Viewer->Merge Tool:
vsmerge %base %mine %theirs -sc "%HOMEPATH%\Documents\My SlickEdit Config\19.0.0"
The base file is shown as -sc and not the base as expected which makes the merges not save to the base file.
If I remove the -sc and on to not have it load a configuration (I can't remember why I needed this... won't source code color correctly maybe?) it won't open vsmerge at all.

Try putting the -sc args first.

I'll possibly have another merge later this afternoon and I'll give this a shot. Is this just a trial to get me through?

I shouldn't need the -sc args at all correct?

You shouldn't need it unless you want to specify a configuration directory other than the default one.

So this appears to be my issue, it looks like I've had this setup wrong all along. (I've only used is as a reference before the last few days) The arguments should be:
vsmerge [options] %base %mine %theirs %merged
Sorry for my confusion.

The /h command line argument for vsmerge in v18 shows help while it doesn't in v19. I couldn't find any argument information in the help files.

That sounds like something that needs repair.  Let me look at this.
