1.6.x svnmerge.py update?

[Jeppe Øland <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

Continued from Debian-users:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/08/msg01329.html

It seems the 1.6.x branches haven't included any changes to
svnmerge.py for a long while.
Specifically, I really need the added support for cross-repository merging.
I would like to merge changes from a vendor repository into my private
project repository, and the current release-branch version does not
support this feature.

How would I go about requesting this change to be brought into the SVN
release branch?

Regards,
-Jeppe

Sure, and I do.
But its easier to ask others to just get the latest package in
whatever distro they are running.

Will do!

If you'd like to see specific revisions backported to 1.6.x, just send a
note to dev@subversion (or, in this case, to the svnmerge list?) and
name those revisions.

If you'd like to see specific revisions backported to 1.6.x, just send a
note to dev@subversion (or, in this case, to the svnmerge list?) and
name those revisions.
