Sorry all, i just re-read the post below and I am not sure why... but
the path SRC and DESTS are prety "screwy"
please find a corrected version below.
Hi and thanks for the replies.
Here is the recipe.
I have a trunk/file1_at_r10
it contains the following;
"
This is line 1
This is line 2
"
file1 already exists in trunk/myOtherDirectory/file1
The contents of trunk/myOtherDirectory/file1 aren't really
important... but for ease of illustration - lets assume it is
currently identical to trunk/file1
That is: trunk/myOtherDirectory/file1 contains
"
This is line 1
This is line 2
"
I then edit trunk/file1 and now have the following for trunk/file1_at_r11
"
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
"
I replicate this process several times (1 line per revision) until I
have the contents of trunk/file1_at_r15
"
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
This is line 4
This is line 5
This is line 6
This is line 7
"
Now when I do run the following command within my WC,
svn merge -r 13:15 trunk/file1 trunk/myOtherDirectory/file1
I expect trunk/myOtherDirectory/file1
to contain;
"
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 6
This is line 7
"
I don't really care what happened to trunk/file1 prior to r14, I just
want the changes made in trunk/file1_at_r14:15 to be "patched" to trunk/
myOtherDirectory/file1
What I found myself doing, (automatically) was choosing (tf) Their
File - which competely explains, why trunk/myOtherDirectory/file1 is
now a copy trunk/file1
But it still leaves me with the issue of how do I get just those
changes in r14:15 of trunk/file1 into trunk/myOtherDirectory/file1?
If I choose (e) edit, then I get the differences between the two
files... I.e. the merge-right section contains ALL that is different
and not just what was changed in r14:15 of trunk/file1
So it makes it a little difficult to know how to manually edit the
file to correctly merge in just the changes of r14:15
Once again, Thanks or any help you might be able to provide.
