Try etcmerge :) It's a bit of a pain to get started with it, but it is a *lot* faster (huma= n=20 input wise) than mergemaster. It only asks you about files that you have=20 modified rather than ones that have been changed by committers (ie does a 3= =20 way merge). It does have problems handling DB files, but that is usually not a big prob= lem=20 to fix. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart1667406.x3QNet1TlP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDPJCu5ZPcIHs/zowRAonsAKClO/GZv+6Mm0Y542IHl/x9m/Y4JgCeKIdo 8rpLcz3uZ704OXNvs66ykMs= =nv9V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1667406.x3QNet1TlP--
