Hello,
I have been using Subversion and TortoiseSVN since February 2005 and
absolutely love it. At the company I currently work for, I have been eagerly
awaiting the v1.2.x line because of the locking features (it will help with
Word documents, etc.). I have just upgraded to the TortoiseSVN 1.2.1 client
(from 1.1.7) and have noticed an annoying issue with the Merge dialog box.
Once I have the "From" URL set up, and I click the "Show Log" button to
select my ranges, TortoiseSVN always enters a revision number that is "one
less" than the beginning revision number in the "Revision" field. I have to
fix it manually. I did a search on your Issue Tracker but nothing jumped out
(I searched for things related to "merge").
As an example of the problem, assume that a "my_branch" has been created and
has the following history:
8 Removed tother
7 Added that
6 Fixed this
5 Created "my_branch" branch
In this case, rev 5 was where the branch was copied from the trunk. Later,
when this branch is to be merged into the trunk, the Merge dialog is invoked
in a WC of the trunk, the "my_branch" is selected as the "From" URL, and the
merge range is selected in the "Show Log" window from 5 to 8, the values for
the "from" and "to" revisions end up being 4 and 8 respectively, and not 5
and 8 as they should be. This happens consistently; the "from" revision
always defaults to one less than what was selected from the "Show Log"
window and I have to adjust it manually.
I am using what was available in the "TortoiseSVN-1.2.1.3895-svn-1.2.1.msi"
installer.
Thank you for a great product. If I can be of any assistance, please let me
know.
