Erik,
as far as I understand Philippe, he needs to work on two
machines/networks obviously currently not connected to each
other (=two different locations) and thus both having their own
repository (=subversion). In a few months he will be able to connect
those two locations and then wants to "merge" both the two
repositories into one.
I am a bloody beginner, too, but I could imagine two options to do
this:
A)
- create a new branch in repository 1;
- export repository 2 to a folder accessible from the repository 1
machine;
- import this into the new branch created in the first step;
- merge this branch into trunk;
- relocate working copies from repository 2 to repository 1 (or just
checkout new working copies from repos1).
B)
- update one working copy of repository 2;
- relocate this working copy to use repository 1;
- update this working copy from repository 1;
- commit this working copy to repository 1;
- relocate and update all working copies formerly bound to repos 2
or
- checkout fresh working copies from repos1.
I assume B is the easier way, but would loose history of repository
2 and may have weird side effects if there are files of the same
name added to both repositories in the period before merging them
into one.
I am sure the pros can jump in here with better
solutions/suggestions.
One further idea:
- update a working copy of each repository;
- make a diff between these two working copies;
- patch the diff result into the working copy of the repository you
want to continue to use.
I am quite unspecific as I have no experience yet with diff and
patch command.

only illustrates the degree to which malignant fantasy can capture
