Workbench Commit view "Working Directory" contextual "Diff to parent" uses copies of working directory files
Created originally on Bitbucket by Anonymous
When performing the above diff operation (I have WinMerge set as my visual diff tool) the working copy files shown in the diff tool are copies of the files from my working copy folder, as opposed to the actual working copy folder files. This means:
- It is not obvious which file is the parent revision from the repository and which file is the working copy file.
- Should I wish to make any changes to the working copy file whilst reviewing the differences, I cannot do so within the diff tool.
If I perform a similar diff to parent via a file specific context menu in the file status pane, the actual working copy file is used.
IMO it would be preferable for the actual working copy files to be used in both instances.
