Bug
GUI: When the "diff workspace contents" option is selected on the pending changes view menu from a moved element, which is changed too,
an error was shown: "Cannot show diffs. Entry does not have two contributors.". Fixed.
Bug
Merge: Fixed case where directory conflicts are shown again, when they shouldn't, as they were previously resolved. The failing case should met the following conditions:
* Merge only a subset of files.
* A writable xlink is involved on the merge operation.
* There is at least one file conflict pending to be resolved inside the xlink and at least another file conflict on its parent repository.
* The xlink has two or more directory conflicts that involve the same delete directory operation (Example: two files were changed on source contributor inside a directory that was deleted on destination), so only one of them must be resolved.
Bug
Active Directory authentication mode: Support recursive groups in AD integrated security. There were several scenarios where the permissions weren't applied as expected.
Example of failing scenario:
* User U1.
* Group G1. Members of G1: G2.
* Group G2. Members of G2: U1.
* If the 'read' permssion is denied to group 'G1' on a repository, the user 'U1' will have read permissions for that repository when it shouldn't.
Now this scenario is fixed, and the read permissions for user 'U1' will be denied.
