I'm doing a 3 way merge on some source code and FileMerge is not
cooperating.
I've set the left (newer source from client), right (my sandbox),
ancestor (previous drop from client) and merge (sandbox, same as
right). All files have Unix line endings, and I've verified I have
owner read and write permissions on all files.
FileMerge shows the list of sub folders with differences. If I click
on a folder and select Use Left from the Merge menu, I get a new
window with a list of all the files in that folder and each one has
"couldn't copy file" listed next to it. No further explanation is given.
If I double click on a file with differences, i get the fancy compare
window. FileMerge has no problem showing the left and right file
contents nor saving the merge. While I can certainly do this on a
file by file basis, I'd rather just have FileMerge do them all at
once (I have no local changes on this particular subfolder).
Any thoughts on what is tripping up FileMerge when I try to Use Left
on a whole folder?
Dave
