RE: Merge problem after changing directory tree structure

But I am comparing subtrees. I'm comparing a/branches/branch1 with
itself between revisions 2 and 3.

The problem is that I renamed an ancestor directory in the URL since I
created the branch and Subversion does not seem to let me merge the
changes on the branch that I committed before I renamed the ancestor
directory.

Let's look at my specific case. In the attached Log.txt, you'll notice
that in revision 334, I renamed ancestor directory "Bloomberg Pricing
Engine Feed" to "Pricing Engine Feed" and in revision 296, I created
branch "Develop 0.2" from "Develop 0.1". Because I renamed the ancestor
directory after I created the branch, Subversion does not permit me to
merge the changes between revisions 296 and the 334 (workspace URL is
https://localhost/subversion/project/Bloomberg/Pricing%20Engine%20Feed/P
rotocol/trunk):

[dmahar@isdev001 Latest]$ svn merge -r296:334
https://localhost/subversion/project/Bloomberg/Bloomberg%20Pricing%20Eng
ine%20Feed/Protocol/branches/Develop%200.2 .
svn: REPORT request failed on '/subversion/project/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/subversion/project/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read
chunk size: Secure connection truncated (https://localhost)

Using "Pricing Engine Feed" instead of "Bloomberg Pricing Engine Feed":
[dmahar@isdev001 Latest]$ svn merge -r296:334
https://localhost/subversion/project/Bloomberg/Pricing%20Engine%20Feed/P
rotocol/branches/Develop%200.2 .
svn: REPORT request failed on '/subversion/project/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/subversion/project/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read
chunk size: Secure connection truncated (https://localhost)

However, Subversion *does* allow me to merge the branch changes that I
committed after I renamed the ancestory directory:

[dmahar@isdev001 Latest]$ svn merge -r334:HEAD
https://localhost/subversion/project/Bloomberg/Pricing%20Engine%20Feed/P
rotocol/branches/Develop%200.2 .
C
source/com/penson/bloomberg/feed/pricingEngine/protocol/Connection.java

Sure: don't compare repository roots. Compare subtrees instead.

In your case, assuming you have a working copy of /b/trunk in local
directory "wc", you'd run

     svn merge -r2:3 schema://.../a/branches/branch1 wc
