RE: Re: Merging moved files

Has an issue been reported, and can I track the progress? This is
actually a big issue for me right now, since I made a whole lot of
changes, and need to merge them back into our trunk. Since I can't
really rely on the Subversion developers to fix this in a timely manner,
I'm going to have to figure out a way to do this painstakingly one dir
at a time.

So the question I have now is, how do I perform this? The easiest, and
possibly the only sane way to do this that I can think of is to view the
log of the trunk then merge each dir with changes into the reorg branch
moved directory, then merge the reorg branch back into the trunk. I
can't see how it is possible to merge the reorg branch moved dirs
directly back to the trunk dirs original location.

Just as clarification for others trying to reproduce the problem, there
needs to be a commit at this point, too. Otherwise you'll get problems
when trying to do the 'svn mv origdir/file.txt newdir' later on.
Following your transcript (thanks), I was able to reproduce the results
you're seeing: it does seem that trunk modifications to origdir/file.txt
are not included in newdir/file.txt when the merge happens.
