Your ChangeLog entry is not in the proper format, see sections 6.8.1 and 6.8.2 from http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html The diff itself is OK. You can use svn merge to merge changes on other branches, or try to apply your diff using the "patch" command, and adjust for any merge conflict. Arno
