Merging to trunk from branch with replaced files

Hi everyone!

Following scenario:
- I have a working copy of trunk with some local modifications
- I now use SmartSVN feature to create a branch from the WC
  This results in one single svn action. I get a new branch which is
  an exact copy of what was in my WC
- I do my changes in the branch
- Now I want to merge back my changes

While working on the branch, no changes were made in trunk.

svn log -v on the branch gives following output:
r1852 | xyz | 2007-07-03 11:37:30 +0200 (Di, 03 Jul 2007) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   A /branches/test (from /trunk:1844)
   R /branches/test/bla/test1.txt (from /trunk/bla/test1.txt:1846)
   A /branches/test/bla/test2.txt (from /trunk/bla/test2.txt:1850)
   
r1853 | xyz | 2007-07-03 12:36:30 +0200 (Di, 03 Jul 2007) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   M /branches/test/bla/test2.txt

Now I use:
svn merge -r 1852:1853 svn://host/project/branches/test

It is quite expected that this only merges the changes of test2.txt
into trunk.
However, what do I do, if I want the whole branch as it is as my new
trunk? Or rather:
Only what changed in my branch (including the files with status R)
should be taken over to trunk.

Probably a better way of creating the branch would have been to make a
branch of trunk, then switch to the branch and only then commit my
local changes.

Any comments on that?

   
Cheers, Ingo =;->
