[Subversion] : updating already created / available tag

[Ramanathan Muthaiah <ru...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I could not find any clues in the SVN book, hence posting to this forum.

Brief note on the requirement:

1. From working copy, commit all the files except one file "A"
(probably forgot to include it)

2. Run svn copy /path/to/wc file:///path/to/repo/tag/TAG-NAME

3. commit the changes done to file "A"

Now, how do I update the newly created tag "TAG-NAME" to include this
change in file "A" as well as part of it.

/Ram

Uh, yeah right ... I managed to miss the fact that it was a wc-to-repos
copy.

Didn't he say he had some local mods that needed to committing to a
particular repository location?  Merges are all about re-applying
changes from one place in the repository to another.  If you're trying
to apply as-of-yet-uncommitted working copy changes to some particular
repository location, I can't see how 'svn merge' would help.

Ah ... I'd have expected this to be a merge instead?
