Re: Tree Conflicts after merging a directory with --accept="theirs-full"

Hi Stefan,

Here is the information you requested;

svn status shared;
C shared
> local delete, incoming edit upon merge

svn info shared;
Tree conflict: local delete, incoming edit upon merge
  Source left: (dir) http://192.168.10.95/svn/repo/trunk/nz/shared@2
  Source right: (dir) http://192.168.10.95/svn/repo/trunk/nz/shared@21844

As for the result,
I'd like my local copy to discard the change made at /trunk/nz/shared
since the exact same difference is present at; /trunk/shared

Upon reflection it seems like a pretty silly idea to be had from the start...
Replicate a hard path with an external from another path - and somehow expect it to behave correctly.

But since I used the following;
cd /trunk/nz
svn up --set-depth exclude shared

so as to ignore the /trunk/nz/shared directory intitally - it seemed ok to proceed with the external at the same location.

Gavin,
