Apply BOTH versions of a change?

Post by bpostow@yahoo.com » Wed Oct 30, 2019 2:07 pm

I will often have a chunk of code, and one person added a line, and another person added a totally different line at the same place. I want both of them.

So, the original file is:

Code: Select all

Foo
Bar
Version 1 is:

Code: Select all

Foo
BAZ
Bar
Version 2 is:

Code: Select all

Foo
BUQ
Bar
The merged version I want is:

Code: Select all

Foo
BAZ
BUQ
Bar
(typically, I don't care about the order of BAZ and BUQ because they came in independently...)

Currently, I'm choosing whichever is longer and cutting and pasting the other one in, but that makes DiffMerge tell me that there's still a difference I need to fix...

Is there a better way to do this?
