I haven't been editing the vendor_branch, so that's ok and clarifies a few points. Now, can I explain how I see this working and you can correct me if
I'm wrong.
So the current code in trunk/modules/module1/ is based on v1.2.12 of the vendor code and contains our own changes. Unfortunately, the history no
longer exists for the changes made to the v1.2.12 code (I think due to migrating from CVS). So if I:
1) Load v1.2.12 vendor code into the vendor_branch and tag it using svn_load_dirs.pl.
2) svn copy the 1.2.12 tag to trunk/modules/module1/
2a) overwrite the trunk/modules/module1 files with the current code (which is supposed to be based on 1.2.12) and commit the changes. This should give
me the change history from 1.2.12 and our current code for the module.
3) make modifications and file moves in trunk/modules/module1/
4) load the latest 1.2.16 vendor code using svn_load_dirs.pl into the vendor_branch
5) merge changes between the 1.2.12 tag and the 1.2.16 tag into trunk/modules/module1
Should this work as I expect/hope? Any complications/difficulties I might expect?
Cheers,
Nath
