Hi Josh,
Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried your recommended
--ignore-ancestry suggestion. I will give that a spin. For now, I
found the following approach to work:
1) Determine what the release branch or tag you will be upgrading to and
export a copy:
svn export file:///htc/svn/ignitionweb_base/tags/RELEASE_3_3_2_BUILD_3
ignitionweb_base
2) Now to import it into the client repository:
svn_load_dirs file:///htc/svn/3macs/ -t branches/release_3_3_2_build_3
branches/htc ignitionweb_base/
3) You know need to have a current up-to-date client svn sandbox:
svn co file:///htc/svn/3macs/trunk 3macs
4) We now will merge the differences between branches/htc before and
after the merge of release_3_3_2_build_3 into the current trunk. Before
doing so, you need the revision number of branches/htc before the merge.
cd 3macs
svn merge file:///htc/svn/3macs/branches/htc_at_216
file:///htc/svn/3macs/branches/htc
What are your thoughts on this approach? I have to admit that
svn_load_dirs is voodoo to me at this point!
Thanks,
Michael
