What do the different columns (of letters) mean for the svn merge output?
- by James
The output of SVN merge has 4 columns of letters listed before the file name. I understand the meaning of the letters (mostly) but I can't find any information on the meanings of the columns and so only have a vague understanding based on context. Can anyone point me to the documentation on this?
Based on context I've been able to infer that column:
Is about text changes to a file
Seems to be related to use of the svn ignore command on a folder (or maybe it's just properties of the file?)
I've never seen a letter in the third column and hence I have no idea what it means.
Might be tree conflicts? This is the one I'm mostly worried about because I don't know how to handle it yet.
