Merge_Ext Initialization Variable

See Also

Sets the extension used by VSS to create a temporary merge file. The default is .mrg.

Syntax

Merge_Ext = extension of temporary merge file

Example

Gives all temporary merge files the extension .mrg:

Merge_Ext = .mrg

Remarks

When VSS performs an automatic merge, it creates a temporary file with this extension in which to perform the merge. When the merge is complete, VSS either renames this file or deletes it; so, in general, you should never see this file. However, in case of failure during a merge, you can look for the .mrg copy of the file.
