Mercurial merge strategy per file type

Question

All:

I want to use kdiff to merge all files with a certain suffix (say *.c, *.h) and I want to do two things (turn off premerge and use internal:other) for all files

Answer 1

According to this Mercurial MergeToolConfiguration page, you should put the interal:other directly after the match pattern:

[merge-patterns]
**.mdl = internal:other
