Hi,
I did a little experiment. I made a branch, but I forgot what revision my
working copy was at when I did the branch. I wasn't able to figure out what
commit revision of trunk I branched from, so I simply did an SVN Merge and
did 1-HEAD of trunk. I didn't get any text updates, but I did get a lot of
files updated with property changes. I've always wanted to understand how
subversion determines how to add svn:mergeinfo properties. Only a random few
files and directories received the properties, while other things in the
working copy were left untouched. This seems very non deterministic.
Also, after doing 1-HEAD, I noticed that there were still items in the "Show
Log" in the merge dialog that weren't grayed out. Is this normal?
Technically I merged 1-HEAD, so every single revision in trunk's show log
should be gray. This is all very confusing, so I was hoping someone could
briefly shed some light on this topic. Thank you!
