[Feature Request] Option for combining two different line

[ganeshmarmat]

This tool is very useful for merging.
but some time user will need to combine the difference between two files.
as below files example:

file1.xml

when the tool shows the difference between files
I can only choose one of them. using "copy to right" or "copy to left"
I just want one more menu lets call it "combine and copy to left" or "combine and copy to right"
after choosing this option result will get like

file1.xml after "combine and copy to left"

file1.xml after "combine and copy to right"

This might be especially useful for a 3-way merge where you may need to include changes from the left and the right file into the middle file. The options on the middle file could be "use left before right" and "use right before left" or something like that.

I also miss this. In TortoiseSVN-Merge it is called "use left before right" and vv.
@wiggisser Yes. But sometimes I also need this feature in 2-way.

Frankly, if only TortoiseGit Merge would not crash for me this would be enough the reason to revert from using WinMerge for 3-way merge.

WinMerge has "select some lines and copy them only" action, and this in some cases can replace "copy Left above, then copy Right below" and "copy Right above, then copy Left below" actions.
But sadly, only in some cases.

Also, i wish there was a GUI tool for more complex scenarios, which would allow to "draw arrows" from separate lines (consequtive line blacks) to arrange more complex patterns, like that:

L01
L02
R01
L03
L04
R02
R03
R04
L05

Something like you can see on this graph editor, yet for source lines (consecutive lines blocks)
