Deep Overlap merge into deleted file in Accurev

Question

Using Accurev, I have some deeply overlapped files to merge into my stream although in the stream the files are defunct. I don't want the files from the merge I just want to get rid of the overlaps and make sure that the files keep their defunct status.

Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

Answer 1

I was able to get around this by promoting the missing file to the stream, resolving the merge, and then defuncting it again afterwards.

Answer 2

You will need to run the merge, once complete, just defunct the file and promote.
