Hmm, tried it like that, but I'm still having probs. (This is with
0.16, I haven't had a chance to try 0.16.1 yet)
% svn co https://.../trunk
% cd trunk
% svn merge --dry-run -r13:HEAD https://.../branches/OBJS1 .
build
U oscript/data/JavaObjectWrapper.java
U NOTES
svn: Can't find an entry
svn: Can't merge props into 'docs/samplecode.html':it's not under
revision control.
or without the --dry-run
% svn merge -r13:HEAD https://.../branches/OBJS1 .
build
U oscript/data/JavaObjectWrapper.java
U NOTES
zsh: bus error svn merge -r13:HEAD
https://icandy.homeunix.org/svn/branches/OBJS1 .
