RE: Merge-tracking bug

Eric,

I am not getting this error in my 1.5.0-RC3 build.

The second switch does not leave any stray notes/tree-conflicts/policy.txt

IIRC when a merge encounters a skipped children it sets the non-inheritable mergeinfo on the parent to skipped target and the unskipped sibling targets.

With regards
Kamesh Jayachandran

If you do a merge that should Add a file, but you already have
this file unversioned in your working copy (say, because you've
just switched a copy from trunk (which has the file) to your
branch), svn merge Skips it. The Skip notice is lost in the
noise, but worse, the mergeinfo claims the file is there. So,
even after you remove the unversioned file (which you shouldn't
have to do anyway), svn merge still won't pick it up.

Reproduction recipe:

svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk bugwc
cd bugwc
svn sw http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/svnserve-logging
svn st notes/tree-conflicts/policy.txt
  ? notes/tree-conflicts/policy.txt
svn merge --accept=theirs-full http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk
