Storage Mergers
Identifier:
org.eclipse.team.core.storageMergers
Since:

Description:
This extension point allows a plug-in to register a storage merger

on three input storage and write the result to an output stream.
The extension point must implement the interface
org.eclipse.team.core.mapping.IStorageMerger.
