you're correct and I was wrong...the files that are not part of a fresh
check out are NOT visible in Trac either. There are files from revision
67 that are included in a fresh checkout of trunk (and visible in Trac)
and files from that same revision that aren't included in a fresh
checkout of trunk (and likewise NOT visible in Trac). I presume that
this same thing has happened on other revisions since the branch went
from revision 52 through 138 (almost 6 months), and it seems as though
it wasn't entirely predictable which files are missing from trunk.
I guess I have to figure out how to deal with a merge that should have
included all of the revisions that fell within the range of revisions
that were merged but didn't merge.
Is it possible to merge again? I ask because subsequent efforts to merge
the same thing doesn't seem to change anything.
A fresh checkout of the branch has all the files, a fresh checkout of
the trunk is missing files and the merge that I performed should have
included all of the files from the branch into the trunk as I understand
it.
Any / all suggestions are welcome but it appears that I will have to
simply grab files/folders from the branch and copy them into my trunk
checkout, add them in again to make trunk complete as I can conceive of
no other way to fix this.
