That's one solution. However, wc.db already has the ability to represent multiple related trees (via op_depth), so another way would be to extend that into storing not only the post-'svn patch' trees too, and then merging them in the usual way. (which may require repository communication, or storing the pre-patch tree locally too...) Perhaps you'd be interested in contributing to the implementation of this feature? > Best regards > > Markus Schaber >
