Harald,
You can not expect to redirect the stdout because of TCL (the shell used
in WinCvs) lacks this. However you can probably do the same thing with
TCL, but it's complicated.
Instead, you can open-up the graph for this file, and ask to compare
against the version you're interested in. If you have a good diff
utility, you can do the merge right away. Or you simply look where is
the file checked-out (probably in C:\TEMP\myfile.revision.c) and you can
use it to merge it manually.
Regards,
alex.
