Re: merge using same revision number - quick question

Hi Johan, Bob and all

We took your suggestion and it still fails in that
1- when we try to merge again at the root level
(goals:
a- to move subtree merge done previously to the working copy root level so
that the past merge can be traced at the root level using "svn mergeinfo
-show-revs merged)

svn merge -c 498
https://test.com/svn/root<https://test.com/svn/root/src/usr/ext/a.java>
 /path/to/root

But when we do a svn status, all other untouched files and
folders (unrelated to the revision number) are also touched.

svn status -u
M 506 src/ap
M 506 src/ap/k.java
:
:

We then commit.

We performed the above steps for several other revision numbers and still
get the same svn status -u output for those files and folders when
executing those other subsequent revision numbers.

What are we doing wrong ?

Thanks all
sincerely
