Public bug reported: Binary package hint: meld
If you have a SVN directory with local changes, and you start meld on it e.g. "meld ." on the command line, then you will see all the changed files. Open one of the files with changes. The left hand side is the orignial version from SVN, and it is a temp file (usually under /tmp/) Change some part of the file on the left. What happens: Meld will warn you that you have changed a file (the file in /tmp) and ask you if you want to save the changes. What's wrong with this:# Saving changes to the temp file is pointless, because that file will be thrown away, any changes made to it will be ignored. This file on the left is the version of the file in SVN, if the user changes file in meld, then it's not obvious what that means, this causes user confusion. What should happen: Meld should realise that the file on the left (under /tmp) is a temporary file and shouldn't warn the user that there are changes to it.
