Merge On Get

merge can occur at Get command when the file is checked out to you (Only if the Replace writable option is set to Merge in Tools->Option->File).

In a multiple checkout situation (when the current repository is set to allow multiple checkouts), if multiple users have checked out a file and one of the users checks in the file with changes, you can use the Get command to retrieve another user's changes before checking in your version of the file. The difference between the current version and your local copy of the file will be merged into your local copy.

This is a three-way merge. The baseline file is the repository version of the file that you check out. The result file is the local copy of the file.

If there is any conflict, SourceAnywhere Hosted will either display Visual Merge window or perform manual merge. If no conflict is found, the file will be merged automatically.
