Your, theirs, base, and merge files

The p4 resolve command uses the following terms during the merge process:

File revision Description

yours

The revision of the file in your client workspace, containing changes you made.

theirs

The revision in the depot, edited by another user, that yours conflicts with. (Usually the head revision, but you can schedule a resolve with another revision using p4 sync.)

base

The file revision in the depot that yours and theirs were edited from (the closest common ancestor file).

merge

The file generated by Helix Server from theirs, yours, and base.

result

The final file resulting from the resolve process.
