Hi,

As you will have seen from the commit I got it to work. Can now get on with it.

Warning, merge seems to only work on a newly checked out working copy of the branch, any changes seem to cause chaos. Make changes after merge before the commit back to the branch. Have raised question with SVN.

Compiles, runs but is not extensively tested (Geany needs a regression suite, and if you find a usable GUI tester let me know I am looking for one ;-)

Regards
Lex

I think you have to say what range of revisions you want to merge, e.g.
-r branched:HEAD

Seems to help, not what the SVN book says, but who ever heard of documentation being up to date :-}

where branched is the revision no. your branch was copied from.

Only recent versions of svn have branch tracking, and I haven't tried
it.

Also, it's a good idea to backup any local changes before a merge. svn
should handle them, but if the command is wrong horrible things can
happen :-/

It appears that you have to not make any!!!!

Regards,
Nick
