Merget question about WCPATH1, WCPATH2 and WCPATH
Hi All,
I have one local checkedout copy of trunk and other checked-out copy
of branch they have different revisions. I know the revision when
trunk copy was converted to branch. My question is when I use the the
following command :
svn merge <WC of branch>@550 <latest WC of trunk>@750 <another latest
WC of trunk>
I want to diff and merge from branch to trunk working copy.
1. Will the command diff and merge to the <another lastest WC of
trunk> and not immediately commit to repository ?
2.Is repository is immediately affected in case of problems ?
I think, I am working on WC, so repository would not be affected ?
Thanks for pointers.
Regards,
Ravi.

Thanks Hari,
Yes I took it wrong and basically want to merge branch back into trunk
- diff between @550 to @750.

Note that this command will take the difference from branch@550 to
trunk@750and merge them again to trunk. In effect, it will merge
changes made in
trunk between 550 and 750 and merge it back to trunk. In addition the diff
will turn up additions in the branch upto 550 as deletions. Since, this does
not make much sense, I think you may have go the command wrong. What exactly
do you want to do?
In case you want to merge all the changes that have been made in the branch
to the trunk, then use:
svn merge -r N:M <branchURL> <latest WC of trunk>
where N = the rev when branch was branched from trunk
and M = latest revision in the branch

Correct. The merge command never commits to the repository. It always
modifies the working copy only. The merges must be committed separately to
the repository using svn ci command.

As explained above, only the working copy is affected by the merge command.
The repository is changed only after you do an explicit commit (svn ci).
