RE: Branch synch merge from trunk fails with reintegrate error

Stefan,

Thanks. The two URL merge worked - I haven't needed that one before so some reading seems to be in order to understand why of needing to use this- is http://subversion.apache.org/docs/svn-merge.txt option 3 the best reference?

Also, thanks for the heads up on the security patch.

Is it possible to install 1.9.x alongside 1.8.x on the same CentOS server where that server is only being used to run command line client working against a remote repository?

# pwd
/u/delta/pim/42

# svn merge ^/apps/trunk/pim_at_8027 ^/apps/trunk/pim_at_9155 --dry-run
--- Merging r8028 through r9155 into '.':
U svn.ignore.me
U batchlevel
 G .

# svn merge ^/apps/trunk/pim_at_8027 ^/apps/trunk/pim_at_9155
--- Merging r8028 through r9155 into '.':
U svn.ignore.me
U batchlevel
 G .
--- Recording mergeinfo for merge of r8028 through r9155 into '.':

What happens if you try this 2-URL merge instead?

  svn merge ^/apps/trunk/pim_at_8027 ^/apps/trunk/pim_at_9155 --dry-run

Does this command run the sync merge you expect?

It would be interesting to know if 'svn merge ^/apps/trunk/pim'
with a Subversion 1.9.7 client produces the same 'reintegrate' error.
Perhaps this is a bug which has been fixed in 1.9?

( By the way, based on its compiled date your SVN client is vulnerable to
CVS-2017-9800: https://subversion.apache.org/security/CVE-2017-9800-advisory.txt
Applying the "ssh -q --" workaround mentioned there to your client's configuration file should be enough to prevent an exploit. )
