The Merge Manager finds files that need to be merged. For example, you may need to merge a file or a set of files if you have been working on a branch and you want to combine your changes with versions on another branch.
When you start a merge, the Merge Manager keeps track of the merge status. If you merge only a few files at a time, the Merge Manager tells you which files still need merging. For example, you may want to perform all trivial merges first and work on files that need manual intervention later.
When you start the Merge Manager, you can resume an earlier session (for example, one in which you had started but not finished a merge) or start a new session.
When you start a new Merge Manager session, the Find Wizard asks you for this information:
From the Merge Manager, you can perform several ClearCase functions such as compare and history.
