Git: Merge Revision Dialog Box

The Merge Revision dialog box enables you to port changes from a specific repository revision to the copy of a file or folder in the Head.

In the Merge Revision dialog box, you have to specify the required revision by entering a commit ID, existing branch, or tag name in the Revision field or click Select to view the list of revisions maintained in the repository. The following fields display information specific to the selected revision:

Element Description

Commit ID

A unique identifier of the branched revision.

Author

Name of a person who committed the revision.

Message

A message specified during the commit of the revision.

After you click Merge a three-way merge between the current branch, your Working Tree contents, and the specified branch is done.

Note: After merging you must still commit the changes in order for them to be added to the HEAD.
