Auto merge non-conflicting file content

Automatically merge files whose content does not conflict. You can also select a default character set that is used to transcode Unicode files before merging.

Also include items related to child requests

Merges all items that are related to child requests of the selected change requests.

Only applicable if you are updating from a request.

Overwrite newer versions of files in the work area

Overwrites files in the work area with item revisions related to the request (even if earlier than revisions in the work area).

Only applicable if you selected Update for a request or a baseline for a stream.

If you do not select this option, a pedigree check is made between the file in the work area and the file in the repository. If the file in the work area is later, no change is reported on the changes page of this wizard for that file.

If you select this option, the pedigree check is skipped and any difference is treated as a modification.

If a related Item has a different path/filename from the one in the Work Area then:

Select an action to be taken when there is a difference between the path/filename for the file in the work area and the request’s related item.

Only applicable if you are updating from a request. Select:

• Display as a conflict if you want the item to appear as a conflict on the changes page, allowing you to choose which version to accept.

• Use Work Area path/filename if you want the path/filename from the work area to be used. If there is a modification for this file, this just accepts the modification and not the path/filename change.

• Use related Item path/filename if you want the path/filename from the request’s related item to be used.
