Re: svn commit: r1838746 - /subversion/site/staging/download.html

OK, so how do I do the merge?

I tried using the following in a fresh checkout of the staging branch:

svn merge ^/subversion/site/publish

However it showed changes I have not made, so I am loath to commit them:

$ svn -u st
 M 1839421 roadmap.html
M 1839421 quick-start.html
M 1839421 faq.html
 M 1839421 .
Status against revision: 1839421

Is this normal?
