Lakshman,
Thanks for you reply. I read the link and got a deeper understanding of how "svn merge -r <num>:<num>" would work.
So it partially answered my question. Also the link focused on using some tool, I am using the command line on Unix.
You see I understand this syntax: svn merge <url>@verA <url>@verB
Based on the link below command will take files verA and compare them to verB. This issue I found with this type of
merge is, for example: verA of file foo.c has lines of code I want to keep. verB has new functionality but does not
have the code I want to keep from verA. So I want to merge. Thus when I do a merge the code that I want to keep
gets deleted. I would at least expect a conflict. Also my working repository is the branch that contains verB.
This also happens vice versa.
What I don't understand is this syntax: svn merge -r verA:verB url@ver <mailto:url@ver>
Can you clarify this syntax as the documentation clearly explains the -r options but not what the url@ver <mailto:url@ver> indicates?
Please let me know.
thanks
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Please read the following link http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-01/0149.shtml <http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-01/0149.shtml> from Ryan Schmidt.
The above link helped me understand merging. If after reading the link you are still unclear let me know and I will attempt to clear your doubt.
Thanks
Lakshman

Subject: Merge issues
I'm failing to understand the merge syntax thus failing to merge my branches predictably.
Please explain to me the exact meaning of the command:
svn merge -r 25:30 <file:///\\repos\branch> file:///repos/branch
I am basically attempting to merge from the trunk revision 1 to a branch, but
I keep seeing my results of "A" for some files and it attempts to delete other files
which I don't want and it also deletes portions of code that I don't want.
Please help.
Thanks
Carlos A. Negron Jr.
