Is there a method to copy all changes from one of the versions (local version or the other version) into the centre?

Are you talking about doing a file merge and just wanting all the changes from one side, or are you talking about a new function inside of Vault? Can you provide more details?

I want this (or a similar) feature.

Background is, that in many cases, during a merge (in DiffMerge) one file (e.g. left) has changed a lot, and the other only contains a few changes.
Both changes are critical, but the main changes should come from the left file.
I would like to 'copy all changes from left(/right)', and then be able to go through the changes again to find the few places, where the right side should be used.

In some cases, DiffMerge sees a conflict, when it's just a simple rename.

alanhauge: Thank you for providing some detail to what you would like to see. I've added a feature request and added casebash as a vote to your request.
