Chris@531 5 If you are working with other people on a project, it is likely that
Chris@531 6 at some point you'll find that more than one of you have edited the
Chris@531 7 same lines in the same file, in different ways.
Chris@531 8
Chris@531 9 When that happens and you try to merge the two versions, EasyMercurial
Chris@531 10 will pop up a merge window that looks a bit like this.

Chris@531 12 #merge50
Chris@531 13

Chris@531 15
Chris@531 16 This looks a bit complicated, but it is there to help you pick which
Chris@531 17 of the changes from each of the two "rival" versions of the file you
Chris@531 18 want to use in your merged version.
