Resolve Merge warning dialog
When I was checking on the transaction failed warning, I found that the resolve merge warning was disabled. I remembered that I had invoked Resolve Merge manually recently, and didn't get the warning message that I expected, so I turned it on. A little while later, I used Show Merge in the Pending Change Set. After the merge was complete, I said yes to resolve the merge status, and the warning dialog appeared. Shouldn't this warning only appear when invoking Resolve Merge manually, and not via show merge?
Since the merge tool is a separate app, the Vault client is merely guessing that the merge happened after the merge tool is exited - it has no good way to know that the user actually merged the file.
The warning is there anytime the merge status is about to be changed by the user. We could differentiate between invoking the menu item directly and asking the question after the merge tool has exited, but it seems like we should error on the side of putting up the warning, to reinforce that resolve merge status is separate from editing the file.
