Have you got on your list the option of the user being able to bring across
checkin comments on the final checkin as well?

    Forgot another point:

    The DiffMerge tool doesn't retain the sizing/positioning info between
runs.  So, i end up having to resize the window every single time, so i can
see enough of the code.  (PITA :)

    file these under "PITA" with the DiffMerge tool...

    i have about 100 files that need merging.   on each of the files, i
right-click and select 'Show Merge...'.

    first i get the "automatic merge results" dialog, which doesn't have the
focus on the "OK" button, so i have to physically find the OK button with
the mouse.  i can't just hit return.  (PITA)

    this brings up the DiffMerge tool - which works great - after
saving/closing this tool, there's a dialog which pops up saying "Would you
like to resolve the merge status now?".    One problem is that the focus
isn't always on this dialog, so i have to find the OK button with the mouse
to click it.  I can't just hit return.  (PITA)  Also, there should be a
"don't ever ask me again" checkbox.

    my biggest complaint is that the focus isn't left on the file i had
selected in the "pending change set" window.   that file should still be
visible, so i just hit "down arrow" to get to the next one, and right-click
on it.   instead, the window selection seems to become "none", which makes
me have to scroll down to the one i really want.  (PITA)   when i have 100
files to merge, this means paging down 4-5 pages to get to the final files.

    other than these few tweaky things, the merge process is working great!
hopefully these little things can be addressed for a point release, so the
UI workflow of merging gets easier.

    thanks,
    Kirk
