I think the problem here is that you're asking 'svn merge' to compare
two directories, but then to apply the diffs to a *file*.  That makes
no sense.  All three arguments need to be the same node-type.

Re: Merging question

Posted by Francois Beausoleil <fb...@users.sourceforge.net>.
Please note that there are only three arguments, but not the ones you
think:
--dry-run
file:///repos/trunk@12
file:///repos/trunk@HEAD

The other line is the result of the merge:
   src\java\core\net\sourceforge\jgb\builder\Builder.java

Wrapping caused the confusion.

Thanks,
François
