I want to merge current state of the directories of the serialization library into the release branch. In order to do this, I consult the SVN documentation as well as the instructions at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ImprovingPractices
When I do the merge - I get a large number of conflicts. It looks like: a) lines deleted from the trunk are not deleted from the new (release) working copy. b) files deleted from the trunk are not deleted from the new (release) working copy. c) files which have been added to the trunk don't show up in my (release) working copy.
According to the SVN documentation I should go through the dozens of files with conflicts one by one and examine them and resolve all the conflicts. What I really want is for the current state of the trunk to be "transfered" to the release branch. Any body know what i might be doing wrong?
If you just want to completely overwrite the release branch with the contents of the trunk, you can pass the release branch and the trunk as the two sources for the merge.
I tried this by selection the third option from the merge dialog. However I got other behavior which doesn't seem right. a) No conflicts - according to Tortoise SVN so far so good. b) A couple of files which have been dropped are now marked as conflicted - not what I expect to see. So the file system on my working directory doesn't look like the on on the thunk. I suppose I could remove them with svn commands - but that seems contrary to the whole idea of the "merge" c) a couple of new files I added to the trunk don't show up in the file system. d) The files aren't the same as in the trunk - they look like a "merge" of the trunk and release branches - which is not what I want. e) The little Tortoise icon overlay shows a green dot which is supposed to indicate that the file in the working directory is the same as that in the supository. This is a surprise to me as I expect the working directory to contain files which are now different than the current branch - the release branch. When I right click - it doesn't give me a choice to diff with the repository but rathre to diff against the previous version. Note that I "upgraded" to the most most recent revision of tortoise SVN- 1.63 which has UI Dialogs which differ from those described in https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ImprovingPractices I'm still searching around - it drives me crazy when something that should be trivial takes a whole day.
