If the changeset you want to transfer between working copies cannot be fully represented by 'svn diff'/'svn patch' (i.e. it contains copies, replacements, or svn:mergeinfo changes), I would recommend to commit your changeset to a new branch and checkout/merge that branch elsewhere. The changes will appear in repository history but they don't need to affect anything of value. Say you did: svn checkout TRUNK_URL first-wc cd first-wc make changes in first-wc Now you could do this to create a new branch: svn copy ^/trunk ^/branches/my-new-branch svn switch ^/branches/my-new-branch svn commit Or even just: svn copy . ^/branches/my-new-branch The other side can now checkout the branch: svn checkout ^/branches/my-new-branch Or switch an existing trunk working copy to the branch: cd other-trunk-wc svn switch ^/branches/my-new-branch Or merge the branch into an existing trunk working copy: cd other-trunk-wc svn merge ^/branches/my-new-branch (The above assumes a Subversion 1.8 client. Older clients need the --reintegrate option).
