Hi, colleagues!

CCing users (@) subversion.tigris.org

I tried to reproduce the above mentioned merge and revert with svn.exe of
TortoiseSVN 1.6 nightly build, and I am not satisfied with the following:

1). svn merge reports that there were tree conflicts,
but svn status does not display them.

Why so? Were they automatically resolved by svn merge? (Is there such
a feature?)

Is so, the merge status summary is misleading. If not, the svn status is faulty.

2). svn revert did not restore .svn/entries in one of the folders.

The files slightly differ in size. Is that to be expected?

I hope that someone having a RC can reproduce this or answer the questions.

1. Version of svn.exe

I do not know what svn version TortoiseSVN nightly build uses,
but it used to be some recent one. The svn --version reports:

svn, version 1.6.0 (dev build)
   compiled Mar 19 2009, 00:12:28

You can get TortoiseSVN nightly here:
http://nightlybuilds.tortoisesvn.net/latest/win32/

Caveat: The svn.exe there cannot be run without libapr_tsvn.dll etc. dlls. I
used 7-zip archiver to extract them from the *.msi file.

2. My steps:

> svn checkout http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/branches/1.6.x/doc branch_doc --username guest

When asked for guest's password, press Enter, - the password is empty.

Note: the size of the working copy is 72 Mb
Actually, you can checkout only /doc/source, as only that will be used.

> I created a backup copy of that wc

> svn merge http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/trunk/doc branch_doc/source

That is, erroneous merge: merging trunk's \doc into branch's \doc\source

The merge completes with the following prompt:

Conflict for property 'svn:ignore' discovered on 'branch_doc/source'.
Select: (p) postpone,
        (mf) mine-full, (tf) theirs-full,
        (s) show all options: p

I pressed "p" to postpone

Then, the following is printed:

   C branch_doc\source\Subversionbook.bat
   C branch_doc\source\tools
   C branch_doc\source\TortoiseHelp.bat
   C branch_doc\source\english
 C branch_doc\source
Summary of conflicts:
  Property conflicts: 1
  Tree conflicts: 5

I understand, that the 5th tree conflict is somewhere in the lines before
the property conflict prompt?

> svn status branch_doc

Actual result:
 C branch_doc\source
A + branch_doc\source\test
A + branch_doc\source\test\subwcrev1.txt
and 300 more lines with 'A +' files

Expected:
I was expecting to see indications of the tree conflicts.

Could it be that they were resolved automatically during the merge,
that is that the merge summary information is misleading?

I tried
> svn status -v branch_doc
but that also does not display tree conflicts.

> svn revert -R branch_doc

> svn status branch_doc
Produces empty output. That is OK.

The question:
The files
\doc\source\.svn\entries
in the wc and in its backup copy do differ in size (1253 bytes in wc,
1242 bytes in its backup copy).
Is this difference expected?

The rest of the files in subdirectories are the same.
(Not counting those files and subdirectories that do not belong to the wc
and that were left there after reverting their addition)

Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko
