Thanks Andy,
pretty simple and sensible really...
But it is just so much more easier to simply copy the files!
I assumed your reply was going go to be the case.... but thought I
would get some extra advice.
In the past I have only ever merged over a specific file at specific
revison.
Or perhaps a specific file over a few revisions.
And it was always from trunk into a release tag.
I've never actually merged an entire folder before back into the trunk.
