No need to go wild here, I never said anything about « DELIBERATELY NOT USING YOUR VERSION CONTROL” We still do commits and push, I said so far we don’t have time to f@#k around with kdiff merges so I copy paste things manualy I’ll try with winmerge this time I am not the only one complaining about kdiff

Mercurial, and thus kdiff, has no way to know what has already been merged. You'll find life is much easier if you use your tools the way they're designed to be used. For instance, you (or a team member) probably had a merge conflict for defining the same function in two different branches. For some reason the person doing that merge chose both sides of the conflict, and saved, even though it is clearly displayed in the merge result area that this has happened. Either that, or you added the same function in two different places, so that kdiff saw independent changes on two branches and automatically selected both. This could be solved by doing proper merges in Mercurial rather than applying patches willy-nilly. > > Adding to this that sometimes, a head cannot be pushed anymore, some of us > suddenly get some errors doing so (255 aborted in tortoise) > > The actual error message could help figure out what's going on. Is it just that you're trying to push a new head? Simply merge before pushing to fix that. Or, shoot yourself in the foot even further and force the push. But you probably don't want to do that. > > So we use something like phil3 instead of phil2 (after recloning the central > rep) and we’re back on tracks > > You're using what, now?
