I just tried to merge a bunch of changes from trunk into a branch, and got this:
svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: MERGE request failed on '/svn/boost/branches/proto/v3' svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output: File names with > 31 characters:
/branches/proto/v3/libs/graph/test/planar_input_graphs/planar_K_4_expansion_10_p6.dimacs
... and a bunch more files like it. So, really? I can't merge *any* changes from trunk because some files are rejected by the pre-commit hook? That's a bit extreme. It's nice to enforce our file name requirements, but please let me do my work.
I don't understand what you expect. SVN does atomic commits; the idea is that you can keep the repo in an always-working state, so either the whole checkin works, or it fails. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
