from the section "Advanced Merging," side note regarding doing a
merge which has to jump over a single earlier, cherrypicked revision:
"Did you notice how, in the last example, the merge invocation caused
two distinct ranges of merges to be applied? The svn merge command
applied two independent patches to your working copy to skip over
changeset 355, which your branch already contained. There's nothing
inherently wrong with this, except that it has the potential to make
conflict resolution trickier. If the first range of changes creates
conflicts, you must resolve them interactively for the merge process
to continue and apply the second range of changes. If you postpone a
conflict from the first wave of changes, the whole merge command will
bail out with an error message."
fair enough, but that doesn't explain what happens if the *first*
patch succeeds and the *second* one runs into a conflict. or am i
just reading that too pedantically?
