RE: Question on merging only part of a revision

Hi Richard,

Step 1. Checkout a new copy of your project.
Step 2. Merge revision 8 into your project
Step 3. Revert all but the directory creation and commit, alternatively
commit _only_ the directory creation
Step 4. merge revision 81 into your project

My suggestion will be to merge revision 8 and keep all changes :), after
all its all new files anyway.

Thanks
Lakshman

Subject: Question on merging only part of a revision

Here's the situation:

In my repository trunk, revision 8 added directory
'database/APPS/packages', and a number of files in that directory as a
single commit.
Later, revision 81 added another set of files to that directory.

Now, we've create a release branch from revision 4 and merged a small
assortment of revisions from the trunk to the branch. This assortment
of revisions did NOT include revision 8, which created the above
referenced directory.
Now, we want to merge revision 81, to get the files that were added
there, but we do NOT want all the files that were added in revision 8.

Can anyone tell me how to create/add/copy JUST the directory from
revision 8, with none of it's content, such that it doesn't create a
later conflict when I have to merge the rest of revision 8 into the
release branch?
