Phil,
if you have a lot of changes between your starting point and the newer
version ( added/deleted files and folders ), this is a possible solution:
Supposing you imported your starting point to trunk in revision 1.
- create a branch from trunk@5
- checkout that branch to a working copy, make sure you also have a copy of
the new code on your disk.
- use the svn_load_dirs.pl script in the subversion repository (
http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/ ) to import the
new code to your working copy. The script will copy over all files, add and
delete files and folders and even allow you to indicate files to be renamed.
- the script will commit the working copy automatically
You now have a branch with one committed revision. This revision contains
the exact delta between your starting point and the new code. The only thing
left to do is to merge that revision to trunk.
Lieven.
