RE: Bug in automerge -- probably not

When you lose changes, is it the case that none of your edits get merged, or
is it that some of them seem to make, and some don't?

If it is the former, it might have something to do with merging via the GUI
client while the IDE is open.  Perhaps VS isn't picking up that the file
changed underneath it?  Or, perhaps the file is overwritten because of some
option setting in Vault?  When this happens, check the _sgbak folder to see
whether the file got backed up, and what its state is in the backup.

Also, you might want to view the file in the working folder after it is
merged in the GUI client to verify that side of the equation is clean (or to
figure out if it is the Vault client, the IDE client, or VS itself that is
the problem).
