Automerge not working with certain version numbers in pom.xml

[Huba Peter]

Hello,

We have an issue with automerge, conflicts appear with certain pom.xml versions, whereas for other versions it works fine.  It works fine when the automerge is done from:

release/6.0 -> release/6.1

release/6.1 -> release/6.3

If fails with merge conflict in pom xml when automerging:

release/6.3 -> release/7.0

The conflict looks like:

<<<<<<< release/7.0
<version>7.0.5-SNAPSHOT</version>
=======
<version>6.3.6-SNAPSHOT</version>
>>>>>>> release/6.3

Note: there are no modifications other than the versions in pom.xml.

Why does it work for 6.x and doesn't for 7.x ?

Thanks in advance,

Huba
