Trouble using Svn merge --reintegrate

[Murli Varadachari <mv...@facebook.com>]

I can¹t get ³svn merge ‹reintegrate² to work . I have been merging from
trunk to this branch frequently

Here is the error message

svn: Cannot reintegrate from 'svn+ssh://host/svnroot/tfb/branches/globs/www'
yet:
Some revisions have been merged under it that have not been merged
into the reintegration target; merge them first, then retry.




Example:

Properties on my branch branch ==>

Properties on 'svn+ssh://host/svnroot/tfb/branches/glob/www':

  svn:mergeinfo : /tfb/trunk/www:78849-121709

Note: 78849 was the branch creation point ‹ from trunk

Now I am trying to reintegrate all the changes from branch to trunk.
 
svn merge ‹reintegrate  svn+ssh://host/svnroot/tfb/branches/globs/www

and it fails.

However if I run a manual merge it works from branch => trunk  ti appears to
work

svn merge svn+ssh://host/svnroot/tfb/trunk/www
svn+ssh://host/svnroot/tfb/branches/globs/www  <trunk-WC>


Am I missing something? The branch was created pre 1.5.

Cheers

That error is telling you that something on trunk hasn't been merged to the
branch yet, so you can't use reintegrate.  Merge from trunk to branch, then
branch to trunk with --reintegrate and you should be golden.
