Description Helge Walter CLA 2003-09-04 05:45:27 EDT 
I have a branch called SYSTEST and a project which is loaded from SYSTEST.
I replace one or more single resources with the HEAD contents.
In the context menu of the resources is now shown: 'Replace With'->'Latest from
Branch SYSTEST'.
When I select this menu item only the HEAD contents get updated. To actually
replace the contents with the SYSTEST contents I have to use 'Replace
With'->'Another Branch or Version'.

Mixing tags in a project is not obvious to work with. We have several other PRs
about this very point. The command line doesn't help much either. We haven't
really found a nice solution for dealing with the mixed-tag mode especially to
make it obvious that a project is mixed and what the operations (e.g. replace,
compare) actually do.
