Good afternoon all, I am having some issues with hg performing an update, it wants to use vimdiff and this is not the way I like to work. According to the mercurial simply placing the folloing in the ~/.hgrc should make mercurial change back to leaving the >>>> <<<<< marks when it cannot resolve something. Whatever I specify it still runs vimdiff. [ui] ui.merge = internal:merge any suggestions would be greatly received. Thanks Michael. PS, a little more info on the version of HG I am using. galaxy@jic55666:~/software/galaxy-central$ hg --version Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.6.4) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note, that my email address is no longer givenname.surname@bbsrc.ac.uk.
