I've been running into unexpected tree conflicts when updating branches from the trunk, after reintegrating to the trunk where and file adds or removes were involved in the reintegrate. I expect I'm doing something wrong here, but I haven't been able to figure out what. Can someone point me in the right direction? Here's a simple example that demonstrates my issue.
In this case my server is 1.7.5 and my client is the MacOS client 1.6.17. ~/Development/svn-test > svn update At revision 30. ~/Development/svn-test > cd branches/ ~/Development/svn-test/branches > svn cp ^/trunk mybranch Checked out revision 30. A mybranch ~/Development/svn-test/branches > svn commit -m "created mybranch" Adding branches/mybranch Committed revision 31. ~/Development/svn-test/branches > cd mybranch/ ~/Development/svn-test/branches/mybranch > touch foo ~/Development/svn-test/branches/mybranch > svn add foo A foo ~/Development/svn-test/branches/mybranch > svn commit -m "added file foo" Adding mybranch/foo Transmitting file data . Committed revision 32. # Not necessary.. just being paranoid for demonstration purposes. ~/Development/svn-test/branches/mybranch > svn merge ^/trunk ~/Development/svn-test/branches/mybranch > cd ../../trunk/ ~/Development/svn-test/trunk > svn merge --reintegrate ^/branches/mybranch --- Merging differences between repository URLs into '.': A foo # Again, probably not necessary. ~/Development/svn-test/trunk > svn update At revision 32. ~/Development/svn-test/trunk > svn commit -m "reintegrated mybranch" Sending trunk Adding trunk/foo Committed revision 33. ~/Development/svn-test/trunk > cd ../branches/mybranch/ ~/Development/svn-test/branches/mybranch > svn update At revision 33. # With this merge I expect to pick up any changes that are the results of # any reintegration from other branches, but not changes I reintegrated from # this branch already. ~/Development/svn-test/branches/mybranch > svn merge ^/trunk --- Merging r33 into '.': C foo Summary of conflicts: Tree conflicts: 1 ~/Development/svn-test/branches/mybranch > svn status M . C foo > local add, incoming add upon merge
