Assuming there were no other modifications done in the UAT2 tag --
that is, considering that your current mixed working copy completely
represents how you want the UAT2 tag to look -- consider just "svn
rm"ing the UAT2 tag and recreating it by copying your working copy
there. I think that will be easier than trying to merge it. I'm not
even sure if you could merge it, since merging is something you do
from things that have already been committed, and your changes
haven't been committed anywhere yet if I understand you correctly.
