Hi guys,
First! Love your tool! After being introduced to it about a year ago, merging has become much easier!
BUT! I haven't been able to quite grasp the value of the third "middle" pane in the 3-way merge. I have asked my colleagues to explain it to me, but the ones who start explaining all end up more confused than when they started, and the rest tell me they don't know what it is for.
I can read that it is the "common ancestor", but I am not sure what that actually means.
Can anyone draw up a scenario of how I would use it?
People rave about it, so I would really like to know what I am missing out on, and possibly make my merges much easier.
Thanks.
Jay
