Problem specifying Mergeable files in Admin tool

stevek2 · Post by **stevek2** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 6:17 pm

Whenever anyone on our team checks out the file "makefile" in our repository, it gets an exclusive checkout because it's not in the "Mergeable files" list in the Admin tool.

So I have tried adding each of the following in turn:

makefile;
*makefile*;
*.;

to the Mergeable files list, but when I click the Apply button, the Admin tool changes my items to:

*.makefile;

which of course doesn't do what I want.

How do I get mergeable (non-exclusive checkouts) behavior for files without extensions?

Thanks,
Steve

Hmm. You're right, the Mergeable Files list assumes any entry is a file extension.

I'll log a feature request to allow other types of entries.

Hmmm...any chance you could log this as a bug? It seems there is no way to do concurrent development on files without an extension...

Thanks,
Steve

I can change the category. It will be given the same consideration whether a feature or a bug.
