Hi Stefan,
thank you for your explanation - is there any flag/command to disable the automatically passing of the "--force" flag? We use tortoiseSVN for our DB-versioning (DB deltas) - and it would be a little desaster if 2 of them would be merged together if an developer adds the same versioning number like an already existing.
Thx, bye from austria
Andreas
