Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-05-20 17:08:01 EDT 
1. in sync view against CVS, on a conflict (or outgoing in "both" mode)
2. make a change in the left side edit area
3. don't save
4. pick "Override and Update".
5. you will get prompted that you have unsaved changes and if you want to save 
them.


If you pick "No", then it behaves like cancel (nothing happens).

It should just discard your changes and load the alternates (at least, 
according to the wording of the prompt).

We need to:
a) make "no" mean just don't save but proceed with operation
b) as a bonus, make it yes/no/cancel
c) or, make it "Yes"/"Cancel"

Alternative is to reword prompt, but wording could be awkward.

A known compare problem because it doesn't support 'revert'. There is an
existing bug somewhere se bug 2850.

We will keep this one around to see if we can fix the prompt message.

This bug has not been touched for 2 years. Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if 
you feel this is still an important issue.
