Hello We are having problems with a large number of svn:mergeinfo properties being modified each time we merge. These svn:mergeinfo are on unrelated files to the actual change being made. Though it does seem as if they correlate to prior merges that have happened. If we commit these property changes they will happen again the next time we merge.
At this point when we merge we will see 80 files with svn:mergeinfo changed when we might only be merging one file. It's becoming difficult to determine what exactly we have changed. I looked in the FAQ and googled and nothing exactly seemed to match what we are seeing. Mostly, we have TortoiseSVN 1.6.8 / Subversion 1.6.11 on the client and svn 1.6.15 on our server. The repository is old, having had nearly every major version of SVN that ever existed. We merge sometimes from our "trunk" to a branch and sometimes from our branches back to trunk. We often have multiple releases in flight so a fix will be merged from ^/branches/7.00.39 to ^/branches/7.00.40 and then to ^/branches/7.00.41 and then to ^/trunk. Or the reverse. At some point people were reverting the svn:mergeinfo properties and performing the checkin because they didn't know what they did. Nobody should be doing that any more. Any help would be appreciated. Michael Fletcher | Software Developer | michael.fletc...@entero.com | Entero Corporation
