Dear users,
I`m quite new to svn. I would like to know it the following in svn is
possible:
I have in (let`s say Revision 2) a file, that I have changed onetime (I
deleted "B"), with the following content now:
A
C
D
Then, in Revision 3 an automatic update occurs. The new file has the
content:
A
B
E
...that means that some changes, that I made, are overwritten now. But
that should not be.....
A diff between 2 and 3 would show someting like:
A
-C
-D
+B
+E
Is there a possibility to do (for Revision 4) a "svn merge" to get a new
file, that:
* "knows" that B has been deleted before, so it will not be reintegrated
* does not delete C and D (I would like to declare s.th. like: Don`t
delete anything that has been added in a former revision)
* integrates E (as a new entry, that has not been in any former version)
so that a result like:
A
C
D
E
...comes out?
What I mean is: Is it possible to "have a look to a diff" and then
analyze automatically by the system the single-diff parts
to set some rules if the single diff-parts should be integrated or not?
Thank you very much, Kai
