      title="Determine branch and version information">

    <description>

      The first step is to decide <b>which</b> two branches will be merged, at

      which <b>version</b> the content was branched, and what the

      <b>destination</b> branch will be (where the result of the merge will go).

      Once you have this information, you can move on to the next step.

      title="Check out the project">

    <description>

      Before merging, you must <b>check out</b> the project you wish to merge

      and bring it into your workspace. You can do this either via the import

      wizard or by adding your repository from the CVS Repository Exploring

      perspective, or click the (?) button for help.

      title="Work with the Merge editor">

    <description>

      In the Merge editor manually merge the changes. This step loads the

      required changes into the workspace. Once you've merged all the changes

      and are satisfied with the result, move on to the next step.

      title="Commit your changes">

    <description>

      Right-click on the project and select <b>Team</b> &gt; <b>Synchronize with

      Repository</b> and then commit all the changes to the repository. This

      step finalizes the transfer of the changes from the workspace to the CVS

      repository, and finalizes the merge.
