Carlos,
It seems like you might have been closer in your first email.
This command:
svn merge -r 25:30 file:///repos/branch
Merges the changes between r25 and r30 *on the branch* into whatever
working directory you run it from.
Your first email said:
"I am basically attempting to merge from the trunk revision 1 to a
branch"
Generally, the most straight-forward way to merge is:
1. check out working directory of target (where you want the merge result)
2. svn merge -r start:end <source URL>
3. svn diff, build, etc to verify the result
4. svn commit
If you want to merge from the trunk to the branch, then the merge
command probably has to be more like:
svn merge -r 25:30 file:///repos/trunk
and needs to be run from within a branch working directory.
Does that make sense?
