[Gnu-arch-users] Problem with star-merge

[Ingo Buescher]

Hello,

we are 4 developers and try to use tla to get our work done but 
encountered a serious problem now.

I imported our already written sourcecode, the others tagged from me and 
worked on their local copies.
Star merging between them and me worked flawlessly but when they try to 
merge among each other
(using star-merge --reference myArchive/MySrc) tla tries to merge the 
changes they already got from
me again, which leads to conflicts, since those changes have already 
been applied.

So the question is: is it possible at all with tla to have merges in 
form of a net, where everybody can
merge from everybody and tla is smart enough to figure out, which 
patches are already applied
(because of information in the wiki I thought this was possible) or does 
tla needs a tree like
structure with one central developer, where everybody merges from and to?

And if  it is possible to use tla in form of a net, any idea, what might 
have gone wrong?
