Re: Merge problem with workaround

It is by design. In the Show Log you can select the range of revisions you
want to merge, and we will populate the dialog with those selections. As
an example, let's say you want to merge just revision 10. The syntax for
that is this:

svn merge -r9:10

Let's say you wanted 11 and 12. The syntax for that is:

svn merge -r 10:12

In your case, the problem is that revision 10 is the revision when you
created the branch. So you cannot merge that revision. You really wanted
revisions 11 and 12.

> svn merge -r 10:HEAD
file:///working/svnrepo/echo/branches/b1/src/min/java

If everything you wrote was correct, there is absolutely no way that first
command above would work. It would have given the exact error you showed
later.

We implemented our dialog exactly the same as TortoiseSVN. I mention this
only because they have better docs than we do. See how they explain it:
