RE: svn merge

Hi,

I see two things that might cause it to go wrong.

1. If you are merging unrelated branches, it is branches that don't have
any common ancester you probably should use the --ignore-ancestry
option. See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge.advance
d.ancestry for more details.

2. The command seems you are using seems wrong as well. I would expect
following syntax:
        
        svn merge sourceURL1[@N] sourceURL2[@M] [WCPATH]

where sourceURL is branch1 and WCPATH is branch2.

This would then be:
svn merge --ignore-ancestry <branch1 url_at_revisionX> <branch1
url_at_revisionY> <working copy of branch2>

Regards,
Stephane Deltour

Hi All,

I have branch1 and branch2. branch2 is not derived from branch1.

Is it possible to merge branch1 changes to branch2?

If i do merge from branch1 to branch 2, every thing is getting replaced
in branch2 instead of merging.

svn status
R 1.c
R 2.c
R 3.c

etc

what is getting wrong ?

Here is the command that i am using.

svn merge <branch1 url> <branch2 url> <working copy of branch2>

Thanks for your help

Thanks & Regards,
Shravana Kumar
