(In reply to bug 354593, comment 27) > Could you verify the fix once the n-build with it is out i.e. tomorrow morning? Eddie, have you managed to download a build with the fix and verify it? It's getting late for contributions to 3.7.1 and we don't think the patch is safe enough for SR1. However, as usually in such cases, I can provide you a patched bundle which you can install into your Eclipse or use with your product. The bundle would be exactly the same as it was in 3.7.1. After 3.7.2 is shipped you could switch to the official release.

Hi Tomas -- sorry, I didn't see any "could you verify the fix one the n-build with it is out" message anywhere (comment #27? we only have 2 comments here), or I would have. I'd be happy to verify w/ a build, it's so easy to reproduce and always reproduces. If you could tell me the exact build, as all I see that I would think is for me to test is M20110810-0800 3.7.x stream build, but it says Aug 10 (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/M20110810-0800/index.php)

You can pick any starting with N20110810-2000 (e.g. http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/N20110811-2000/index.php)

oh well. OK, as we complete our compare extension for release in our upcoming version, I'll see if we can do anything to 'workaround' this bug (IIRC our quick scan of things looked like we couldn't, but on another bug it was suggested that the subversive team were able to); if we can't, we'll ask for a patched bundle.
I think it's a big mistake to push this out to 3.7.2. Merging conflicts has been broken and unfixed since 3.7 came out, and now you're doing a new release and not fixing it even though you have a patch in hand? Well I guess it's not as if most developers use Subversion or NPEs make your developers look incompetent. So I can see why you'd leave this broken.

So I can see why you'd leave this broken. The problem can be fixed either in Subversive or in Platform/Team. According to Alexander the fix is available in Subversive now, see bug 348787, comment 11. Indeed we have a fix for Platform/Team, however looking again at bug 348787, comment 11 it is not really needed to backport it now to 3.7.2. Moreover the Platform/Team fix is fresh and has not settled down yet, thus we decided to backport it to 3.7.2.

(In reply to comment #8) That is right. We have applied patched Subversive version to the Indigo SR1 (it will appear starting from RC2 milestone). So, I think it should be fine anyways.
