Converting OpenCover to Lcov missing branch coverage

[Cjewett]

When converting from OpenCover to Lcov the Lcov file is missing branch coverage. Also, the test name is only populated for the first file and ignored for the rest.

Questions:

1. Is there anything stopping Lcov from populating branch coverage if you're converting an OpenCover file which has branch coverage included?
2. Should we not be putting TN: at the beginning of every file for coverage? My knowledge on this subject comes from istanbul which populates it and leaves the value empty (like "TN:") and it's good because it lets the user know a new fragment or file for coverage has started.

Will have a look within the next days.

Regarding 1:
Latest release 4.4.1 will also emit additional information, including branch coverage. The following elements are now available:

• FNDA
• FNF
• FNH
• BRDA
• BRF
• BRH

Regarding 2:
Every file starts with an SF element and end with end_of_record.
The TN element is intended for the overall test name and appears only once per file.

@danielpalme Thank you for adding this!

Regarding 2: Understood. Not a huge deal so I'm okay to close this.
