RE: [Subclipse-users] Quick merge question

My structure goes as follow:

/
/trunk/*.*
/branch/release3/*.*

I want to put apply trunk to branch/release3, shouldn't the branch URL
be specified somewhere? If not when does 2 different URL come into play
during a merge?

In Subversion, merge is basically a fancy version of create diff + apply
patch. The input to the merge is the value it takes to produce the diff
you want to merge. The working copy is where it is applied.

So you need a working copy pointing to the branch. Your From and To URL
should be trunk. The from revision should be 406 and the to revision
should be HEAD.
