I wonder why a "recent" upgrade used 1.6.x instead of 1.7.x... > However, I checked the SVN history for an element that I made > changes to on a branch, and I looked at that same element > after it was merged (by someone else) to the trunk.

Is there a particular way > that merges have to be done to preserve merge history? It sounds like you are expecting merge history to magically appear for merges done _before_ the server was upgraded? In that case, no, svn does not go back and try to re-create history (I suspect that would be at best an error-prone exercise) but you should start to see info being added going forward. Or did I misunderstand your question? ~ mark c
