hi,
this was discussed long time ago, i've been looking for an answer
before posting.
i need to do multiple non-sequential revisions merge (cherrypicking),
from a "new feature" branch to the trunk. the "new feature" branch has
been updated with revisions from the trunk several times.
when the "new feature" has been finished and tested it's time to bring
over. for that, i need to perform the above mentioned cherrypicking,
which consists on a merge of multiple non-sequential revisions.
for reference, i am using svn 1.5.1 on the client and svn 1.3.2 on the
server side. i am not using mergeinfo, i can't yet.
the syntax for that appears to be obvious, since examples of it
neither appear on the svnbook nor on the built-in help. finally, i end
up with a command like that :
$ svn merge \
-r 2471:2473 -r 2477:2479 -r 2484:2485 -r 2486:2491 \
-r 2492:2493 -r 2494:2496 -r 2505:2506 -r 2578:2586 \
-r 2596:2600 -r 2607:2610 -r 2611:2612 -r 2621:2624 \
-r 2626:2630 -r 2667:2668 \
svn://srv-peat-svn/home/svn/8568/branches/code.Lane.LNT .
this variant seems to be possible too
$ svn merge -c 2472,2473,2478,2479,2495,2487,2488,2489,2490,2491 \
svn://srv-peat-svn/home/svn/8568/branches/code.Lane.LNT .
to my surprise, neither command does NOT perform a unique merge
operation, and instead, as many merges as revision ranges specified.
this causes that if a file has been modified in more that one revision
group, it is merged more than once. if there are conflicts, the
situation becomes scary, and the WC a mess.
i was expecting svn merge to behave as the good old svnmerge.py
script, now forgotten by many.
am i doing something wrong or is it that svn merge can't perform these
multiple revision merge in just one try? if it is the latter case, i'd
appreciate confirmation about it.
