I used to rely on the "Postpone All" conflicts option during merging.

With the new merge conflict handling dialogs, this "Postpone All" option is gone. Could it be brought back?

I always prefer to perform the entire merge, then see all of the conflicts as a whole and deal with them; for example using the TortoiseSVN "Resolve" dialog. I don't want to deal with the conflicts one at a time during the merge process, when I have no idea how many there are going to be.

just click the "Cancel" button, (twenty times). This is something that worked well in the old version, but the 'improved' dialogs took a step backward in regard to this functionality, which was removed.

please specify exactly what you do to get the conflict dialog twenty times and cancel doesn't postpone all conflicts.

I just tried it again, and you are correct. Cancel does in fact postpone all conflicts. So, the wording of "Cancel" is just a lot less clear in this regard than "Postpone all remaining conflicts" was. Especially when presented with other options like Postpone and Reject all incoming, etc. Cancel what? The merge, I would assume... Good to know though... thanks.
