Fwd: Cannot merge into mixed-revision working copy

This email on users@ made me realize we have not added this option in
Subclipse. Looking at the JavaHL source it looks like it has not been
exposed via JavaHL either (so we could not add the option in Subclipse
even if we want to).

--allow-mixed-revisions, but the code shouldn't care about the revision
of the external for the purposes of this check.

Can you provide a reproduction recipe, starting from an empty
repository?  In a quick test I couldn't trigger the error you describe.

Thanks

When both are updated to HEAD and I try to do the merge, I get this error message. I've tried using --force, but that seems to work once, but subsequently the merge will still fail with the same error. I've resorted to explicitly updating my external to the same revision as the rest of the WC before merge proceeds.
