Error description
DiffMerge does not recognize any of the changes in the 'Variation Points' tab of the Component features dialog. For example, when a Variant is selected for a Class, DiffMerge does not report on that difference. Subsequently, merges of Variant settings are not possible. We are planning to use Product Line features extensively, and it's critical that we can merge Components down to the Variant level. Two example models are attached. One represents a model before VariationPoint is set in the MyComp component, and the second one is the same model with VariationPoint set in MyComp. It's set to ClassB. You need to run a Diff on .cmp files from both models, and you shall observe that absolutely no differences are reported.
