Preventing "replace" operations

[Chuck Holzwarth <ch...@yahoo.com>]

We are using subversion. The users have been using Windows explorer to drag and drop directories rather than merging. This causes many problems for users down the line. Is there a setting that can be added to the httpd.conf file to prevent this?

This is a really vague question and I'm not sure what you are looking for.

Are you saying people are copying changes from a branch working copy to the trunk working copy (for example) rather than doing svn merge... and you want to find some way to stop them from doing that?

If so... I'm not really sure how you could. The commit of a merge doesn't look any different than any other commit. So, if there is no way to discriminate between the two commits there is really no way to block it.

If you mean something else, please clarify your question.
