Problem with Branching/Merging, patches to the Trunk

From: Thomas Sturgeon <thomas.sturgeon_at_kineticsusa.com>

Greetings.

 

I have created a directory with the following structure:

Branches

Tags

Trunk

 

Into the Trunk directory, I placed a pristine copy of the source code
for my project.

 

After importing the Trunk dir and committing, I did an 'svn copy' to
copy the contents of the Trunk to branches/mybranch

 

I then proceeded to extensively modify branches/mybranch

 

Eventually, patches came out for the Trunk and I applied those patches
to the Trunk.

 

At some point, I want to merge the changes caused by the patches to the
Trunk back into mybranch.

 

I have tried 'svn merge' with the FROM and TO with either path, but
changes I know I made never seem to get integrated.

 

I have read the manual, so I am confused as to how to handle
branching/merging.

 

If someone has an example of a set of steps to create a mock project and
walk through it so that one can understand all the combinations and
permutations, that would be nice.

 

Thanks,

Tom
