About this paper

Qiqi Jason Gu, Mikoláš Janota

Summer addresses same-line merge conflicts by deriving token rules from one branch’s edits and applying them to the other without a language-specific parser. It uses token alignment and string-rewriting and move rules to carry changes across text while retaining local style. On 179 ConflictBench scenarios, Summer achieved 36% literal-match accuracy versus wiggle’s 2.8%; evidence is limited to mostly Java single-file cases.
