[Cobertura-devel] Query on merge task

[Jensen B. C. <jen...@gm...>]

Good day,

>From my understanding, the usual purpose of the merge ANT task is to
aggregate data from different sub-modules of a project build into a single
*.ser file.

I would like to ask if the merge task can also be used to aggregate *.ser
files from multiple builds of the same project, i.e. consolidating *.ser
files which gathered coverage data for the same code set but compiled on
multiple builds. Would the data be overwritten/would there be errors if
source code was changed between multiple builds?

Regards,
Jensen
