With the mergetool configured for git, I have manufactured a conflict, and then run 'git mergetool', and yet no matter how its configured, it is bringing up a diff, not a merge window.

The actual problem was that the Standard edition does not include the text merge functionality. So if you have this problem, you should either buy the Pro edition, or find a different merge tool. It would be better if BeyondCompare gave an error in the case where the command line is trying to do a merge, but the license is not for the Pro edition. Bringing up the diff tool in that case is really not helpful.

Wow, that (the lack of a warning "this operation isn't in the free version") seems like a horrific bug... – torek Mar 19 '22 at 02:12

Actually the standard edition is not free. – rrreee Mar 21 '22 at 22:49

Huh, I think that makes it even worse, if that's possible. :-) – torek Mar 22 '22 at 05:51
