Example: a merge plugin

-----------------------

69
 
Here's a complete plugin that demonstrates the ``Merger.merge_file_content``
70
 
hook.  It installs a hook that forces any merge of a file named ``*.xml``
71
 
to be a conflict, even if Bazaar thinks it can merge it cleanly.
72
 
 
73
 
``merge_xml.py``::
74
 
 
75
 
  """Custom 'merge' logic for *.xml files.
76
 
  
77
 
  Always conflicts if both branches have changed the file.

  def merge_xml_files_hook(merger):

      """Hook to merge *.xml files"""

      return AlwaysConflictXMLMerger(merger)

  class AlwaysConflictXMLMerger(PerFileMerger):

      def file_matches(self, params):
89
 
          filename = self.get_filename(params, self.merger.this_tree)
90
 
          return filename.endswith('.xml')

96
 
      'merge_file_content', merge_xml_files_hook, '*.xml file merge')
97
 
 
98
 
``merge_file_content`` hooks are executed for each file to be merged.  For
99
 
a more a complex example look at the ``news_merge`` plugin that's bundled with
100
 
Bazaar in the ``bzrlib/plugins`` directory.
