Hi Bert,
first of all thank you for your response.
The following is exactly my case:
"If you have local changes, and then an update comes in with changes,
you have a different situation. In that case we start a merge operation,
that may or may not complete automatically depending on the combination
of local and remote changes. You can even configure your own 3-way-merge
tool to handle this merge step by your own tool in the config file."
Sorry, what do you mean with that? I can handle it by an own tool? You
mean an own script?
Best regards, Kai

Subject: Question to svn merge (merge just parts of a diff)
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.....
If all these versions were just committed and updated via the repository, this
is the intended behavior and there is nothing you can do about it. If on update
the local file is unmodified, the file is replaced by the new version. I can't
think of a version management system that does this differently. No merging
happens in this situation
If you have local changes, and then an update comes in with changes, you have a
different situation. In that case we start a merge operation, that may or may
not complete automatically depending on the combination of local and remote
changes. You can even configure your own 3-way-merge tool to handle this merge
step by your own tool in the config file.
A diff between 2 and 3 would show someting like:
A
-C
-D
+B
+E
If everything is committed, then this is unrelated information. It is local
modified vs unmodified that handles the first step.
Otherwise updates that skip revisions aren't possible, etc. etc.
I think you need a more complete sample, perhaps even as a pseudo-script to
describe what you really want to ask.
Bert
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
