Re: merge --dry-run to get diff between two branches

Thanks for the quick response.

In my situation, the trunk is not directly related to any of my URLs.
My URLs represents copies of trunk at different moments.

In the book from the nightly build, there is three different syntaxes in
the Synopsis. The second one seems to be new. In the description,
there is no reference to the second syntax. It references the now third
syntax.

I hope it clarifies my comments.

Thanks again.

'svn merge' does not give difference summaries, really It applies
changes to a working copy. But I guess you know that already.

(It just so happens, however, that some devs *are* working on a new
option to 'svn diff URL1 URL2' to print status codes, rather than
unified diffs. I can't wait for that.)

Is 'trunk' related to the two URLs? Do you get any output -before-
that error?

Um, can you be more specific? :-)
