How to undo CVS "Mark As Merged" [message #522584]

Hi

I am performing a complex merge and I have incorrectly marked 2 files as
merged using the "mark as merged" option. The are not merged correctly
and I need to re-merge them

How can I undo the "mark as merged"?

If I press the synchronisation view "refresh" button, or even restart
Eclipse the "mark as merged" setting for these 2 files persists.
The "Edit->Undo" and "Edit->Redo" options are greyed out.

What I want to do is to start the merge again from scratch, or at least
for the source package that contains the files in question.

Thanks - Adam

That's a tricky one. The only thing I can think of is to create a patch
of the two files in question and then revert them back to the version in
the repository. Then apply your patch to the files (simulating you
making changes again) and try the merge again. I'm not certain that will
yield the desired result, but it's the only thing I can think of.

Hope this helps,
Eric
