Description Marco Qualizza CLA 2004-06-09 15:03:07 EDT 
The new "Update with Tag" in 3.0 functionality is *fabulous*.  This is a request
for equivalent functionality for the synchronize functionality.  The reason for
this request is that Update (from the navigator view) does a blanket update of
all files, and I need to be able to update to a different branch while
watching/moderating the updates that come in to make sure that everything is
kosher (we usually develop on multiple branches).
Comment 1 Marco Qualizza CLA 2004-06-09 15:04:37 EDT 
Ack.  The first two lines should read:

for equivalent functionality for synchronize (synchronize with repository).

That is what the Team > Merge support will provide. Running the command will
synchronize your local against another branch, you can decide which files to
update. If you pin the merge, it will remain in the sync view between workbench
restarts.
Comment 3 Marco Qualizza CLA 2004-06-09 15:22:53 EDT 
Team->Merge requires a branching tag and seems to follow the standard CVS
workflow for merging.  I don't want that, I just want to update with another
branch, but want to see what the incoming changes are and have the option to
accept/reject individual changes.
Comment 4 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2004-06-09 15:48:33 EDT 
In CVS parlance the update command is also a merge. What you want is to be able
to merge using one tag. Or you could run a compare against the branch you case
about and this will provide the preview you want and you can update changes from
there. Marking as dupe of bug 65520.
