Merge Dialog: From/To URLs reversed

Hello,

 

While I was using "TortoiseSVN 1.4.3, Build 8645 - 32 Bit" as SVN
client, it's noticed that the From URL and To URL in Merge dialog were
opposite to what I anticipated. If this is not incorrect, at least it is
misleading.

 

Here is the scenario:

I wanted to merge from http://abc/branches/foo.txt to
http://abc/trunk/foo.txt.

I launched the merge dialog from merge target "trunk" folder (this does
matter as there is another issue if launched from "branches" folder -
the merge source).

Then I have to put http://abc/trunk/foo.txt in the From: URL and
http://abc/branches/foo.txt in the To: URL, which seems silly.

 

The another issue was, if you brought up merge dialog from the source
folder, "branches" in above case, whatever you put in From/To URLs,
nothing would be done. No merge was made to the destination file
http://abc/trunk/foo.txt at all. This probably would be an enhancement,
rather than a bug...

 

TortoiseSVN is really a fabulous tool overall...

Thanks,

Bill
