I understand quite well that svn merge is more than patch. However, the
problem is what two entities in the repository are to be merged. Since
bar.php doesn't yet exist in the trunk, I believe I must do a copy first
in order to let Subversion know that it is going to be added. For
example, if I try
$ svn merge file:///svn/repo/trunk/foo.php
file:///svn/repo/branches/dev/bar.php bar.php
svn: Use --force to override this restriction
svn: 'bar.php' is not under version control
When I add --force, it still gives me the same error. Here's what I
ended up doing (although I haven't committed yet):
$ svn copy file:///svn/repo/trunk/foo.php bar.php
A bar.php
$ svn merge file:///svn/repo/branches/dev/foo.php_at_9
file:///svn/repo/branches/dev/bar.php_at_10 bar.php
U bar.php
Figuring this out has been very educational. I'm glad that svn info and
svn log -v provided the info necessary to "untangle the mystery".

Joe
