Re: How to delete all unmodified files between 2 revisions on a patch branch?

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your reply. Am I right in saying that this exports the changed
files to a local folder but does not create a branch? So then i must create
a new branch and add all these files to it, right? Can I then merge any
future changes from the trunk across to this branch?

Thanks a lot,
Mike
