I don't know if my response went through yesterday.
Here's what I mean.
- I create 2 branches off trunk branchA and branchB
- I create merge tags for branchA/trunk merges, called
trunk-to-branchA and branchA-to-trunk for example
- I develop on branchA and branchB
- I svn rm //.../trunk
- I svn cp //.../branchB //.../trunk
Can I still then svn merge //.../trunk-to-branchA //.../trunk
to merge trunk onto my branchA for example? If I understand
SVN correctly, this should be ok, but just wanted the experts'
opinions.
