RE: "Zombie" files repeatedly updated when merging between branch and trunk

Hi Chris,

Did you ever get an answer to this? I’m looking at doing something similar, and it would be great to know how safe that is.

Thanks,

Nick

Subject: Re: "Zombie" files repeatedly updated when merging between branch and trunk

Hi Bob,

The branch mentioned in my first email was created using a 1.5.4 client (IntelliJ 8 (EAP 9805) which uses SVNKit 1.2.1). The merge was performed using a 1.5.5 client (Mac OS X subversion command line).

Is it possible to prevent this occurring again by manually altering the svn:mergeinfo properties for the affected files? Or is there a better/safer way?

Thanks,

Chris.

Are you using 1.5.5 ??? The files arent being changed by mergeproperties are being put on them. Eariler version of 1.5 did this It was mostly cleaned up by 1.5.5 although I have still seen reports of people getting phantom and unneeded mergeproperties even with 1.5.5
