Caret syntax on Windows?

[David Aldrich <da...@eu.nec.com>]

Hi

Is caret syntax supported by svn on Windows?

The following failed for me as you can see:

C:\MyWorkingCopy\branches\TRY_7Sept09>svn merge ^/trunk
svn: '\' is not a working copy

Best regards
David

On the Windows command prompt you have to double the ^ character, because
cmd.exe uses ^ as an escape character. (another option is using "^/trunk"
but I prefer the double ^.

 

This is not necessary when you start svn.exe from other programs.
