Hi Beman,
I've done a diff on every single file and see no difference. Can you tell me which file is the problem?
It's a false alarm.
The script is looking at the file size, and assuming the contents are different if the size is different. For these files:
boost/mpi/detail/mpi_datatype_primitive.hpp different size boost/mpi/detail/packed_oprimitive.hpp different size
The size is different (and I've used several ways to look at the sizes) even though contents are the same.
I'll track down what is happening and fix the script to avoid the problem in the future.
Ha! Those two files differ at the binary level. The one in branches/release has lines terminated with 0x0d 0x0a, while the one in trunk is all 0x0a terminations. I suspect the same confusion would occur if a file with tabs was converted to no tabs. That's an odd situation. Should the script detect those situations and do the merge itself? --Beman
