Yum! Interesting!
This morning it was a 'merge morning'. After a couple of weeks of heavy
branch work, today I spent the morning merging changes back to trunk.
I had that problem several times, both from windows (tortoise) and from
linux (svn commandline).
I had this problem mainly with files that had been added in the branch.
The most amazing is that the files were effectively copied in my local
filesystem, but not svn copied. It has been very tricky because of that,
as the projects compiled perfectly, but when the rest of developers
tried to update and comiple they found missing files.
I can assure that in most cases the files were not in the destination
folder. For example, it added the .cpp but not the .h of a given file!
If anyone has any ides of what can be the reason, it would be
appreciated.
Regards
Ignacio
