Re: --output function isn't working




Anyway, I feel like I annoy you with this bug wich I seems to be the only one facing it. I typed the command you gave me earlier and the command lines were fine.
So I simply decided to disable the use of "--outpout" on git (using 'git config --global meld.hasOutput false' or 'git config --global mergetool.meld.hasOutput false') and now everything works perfectly.
Maybe that's related to my graphics card proprietary drivers (Nvidia), I don't know.

Thanks anyway to answer my noobish e-mails
Awesome tool and awesome community.
Thank you

Cheers

This isn't a bug; this is the expected behaviour. When you run "meld 1
2 --output 3", Meld loads 1 and 2 into the first and second pane, and
sets the second pane to save to 3. If there is a bug, it's that we
don't complain about using the --output flag with a two-pane
comparison, as it mostly makes sense for three-way comparisons.

Since you don't say what you expected to have happen, I'm not sure
what you think the actual problem is. However, I'm now half suspecting
that you expect to get the MERGED file in the middle pane when doing a
'git mergetool'. If you look at the default mergetool script
(https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/mergetools/meld) you'll see
that it shows BASE in the middle pane, and outputs to MERGED.

cheers,
