Source code merge program

A good source code merge program is different from a basic text merge program.  A source code merge program needs to understand that it is computer code it's merging.

This affects how the merge program's behaviour when it comes to:

  • Code blocks
  • comment blocks
  • Refactoring
  • File headers
  • Indentation
  • Matching brackets }
