It is only a conflict if the _same_ lines were changed. CVS always attempts to merge files automatically and only produces a conflict if it is unable to determine which change to a file/line should take precedence. It is trivial to merge a file on the branch with a missing file on HEAD, so there _is_ no conflict. > Here one user modified a line and the other user > deleted it (with the file) -- clearly a conflict from > user's point of view. That is not how CVS has ever worked (or any other CMS/VCS system I have used). If you want to know what changed before you merge, you can either use 'cvs diff' or use 'cvs -n checkout ...' to see what would change. You want something else, not conflict resolution... John
