Sounds like you are doing something wrong.

What cvs commands are you using. WHen you did a cvs update, did cvs say it was merging?

Hi all...

Couple of questions about the way CVS handles merging file revisions. To use
an example, Bill made some changes to itkBloxCoreAtomImage:

my original version
v1.1 TBoundaryPointImage::Pointer m_BoundaryPointImage

Bill's change (to fix missing typename)
v1.2 typename TBoundaryPointImage::Pointer m_BoundaryPointImage;

My update, which fixed some other stuff
v1.3 TBoundaryPointImage::Pointer m_BoundaryPointImage;

My modifications were made to version 1.1, and I assumed that Bill's changes
would be preserved. That didn't happen though. So, I redid Bill's changes
for the next version:

v1.4 typename TBoundaryPointImage::Pointer m_BoundaryPointImage;

My question is, Is this normal behavior for CVS, or am I doing something
wrong? How do we ensure that versions are successfully merged (I'm using
WinCVS, incidentally, if that affects anything).

Thanks,

-Damion-
