Hi all, 

I was wondering if the following scenario makes sense, or if this is asking for 
problems. 

* I am regularly merging differences between 2 trees (I won't go in too much 
details here...those tree are not really under my control; I put those them in 
the tags area, and I want to merge the changes between 2 consecutive such 
snapshots. In my case, I can not just use a branch and update it with the 
latest version - the tree gets modifications before being tagged). 

* to merge the differences between 2 snapshots, I am using --ignore-ancestry 
(otherwise I see a lot of files being "replaced"). This works great 

* since --ignore-ancestry makes me loose the merge info, before I commit the 
merge results, I merge again but this time with --record-only (and without 
--ignore-ancestry) 

* now I can commit and it seems that I have the best of both worlds... 

I think this is more an svn question (but I am using I am using tsvn 1.6.16). 
The server is svn 1.6.17 
Does anyone have experience with similar scenario? 

Thank you, 
Christophe
