Ok, good to know.
However, I believe I'm addressing a situation that appears to be different
from the one described above (although I will read more on the bug
reference below to study further):
After a 'svn copy' of a "trunk" to "branch" at rev M:
svn copy trunk/ branch/
branch/folder/test.txt modified
trunk/folder/test.txt modified
branch/folder/test.txt -- moved to --> branch/newfolder/test.txt
branch/newfolder/test.txt modified (in addition to above modification)
trunk/folder/test.txt modified (in addition to above modification)
trunk/folder/test.txt -- moved to --> trunk/newfolder/test.txt
cd trunk/
# both trunk/ and branch/ now have a uniquely-modified newfolder/test.txt
svn merge -r M:N ../branch
Will all the changes made in test.txt in both the trunk and the branch be
merged together properly?
