ALM Gateway files for non-exported traceability links

Overview

The ALM Gateway files (ALMGT) about non-exported traceability links are temporary XML files that store traceability edits not yet exported to an ALM tool.

They are usually not tracked in version control systems, but there may exist some use cases where this is required. The XML syntax does not allow automatic merging: The almgtmerge utility merges two ALMGT files derived from a common ancestor.

Conflict resolution

N/A: The semantics of ALMGT files prevents any conflict when merging two files.
