Record only should only make changes to the properties and not the files.
You can also just manually update the svn:merginfo on the trunk if you
want.
I think the problem is that because Daniel is using ancestrally
unrelated trees for the left and right side of his merge diff there
is no merge-tracking (just like when the --ignore-ancestry option is
used).
So any options related to merge-tracking (like --record-only) have no
effect.
I think that what I am dealing with is ancestrally related now:
(in 4.2 working copy) svn merge --record-only -r 222:473
^/branches/branch4.1
Here I am attempting to generate merge info for the changes since I started
the branch at r222 up to the point where I figured out everything I have
been doing wrong r473.
It seems like --record-only should generate an error if there is a problem
instead of corrupting my working copy. It is a simple matter to revert
this, but it is not very useful for understanding what I did wrong.
I wanted to check my version numbers, to make sure that I am using recent
versions. My client is 1.6.13. Is there a way to get the server version
from the svn client?
