It does cover 100% what I need and it is what we will be doing with CVSNT. All I meant was that it means that the tool is forcing a process requirement - that development on the B *must* finish with a final merge from A to B to bring B up to date, otherwise the merge/copy back to A will produce the wrong result. However since the final merge/test is an essential part of good design practice anyway, it is not a bad thing and we will in all likelihood use a script to automate the 'close branch B and merge back to A' procedure, with appropriate checking to ensure that the branch is fully up to date first. I am not intending to continue the discussion -- now I have a workaround I can use -- though I remain very firmly of the opinion that CVSNT does the wrong thing in the 'back and forth' merge situation. The opposing views on this seem solidly entrenched, though, and I don't think any amount of discussion will alter that. However, thanks to all who participated for keeping it civil and informative :-) > I don't see why you would need temp files.
