I'm trying to merge trunk/CHANGES into branches/1.9.x/CHANGES. I have
two separate working copies: the current directory (./) is a working
copy of branches/1.9.x and ../wc-of-trunk is a working copy of /trunk.
When I try the sync merge syntax with file targets, I get an error:
.
$ svn merge ../wc-of-trunk/CHANGES@HEAD CHANGES
subversion/svn/merge-cmd.c:407,
subversion/svn/merge-cmd.c:54: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_CLIENT_BAD_REVISION)
svn: E195002: Invalid merge source 'CHANGES'; a working copy path can only
be used with a repository revision (a number, a date, or head)
.
I get that error whether or not I pass the @HEAD peg revision on the
source argument.
If I pass -r HEAD, I get a different error:
.
$ svn merge -r HEAD ^/subversion/trunk/CHANGES CHANGES
subversion/svn/svn.c:3097: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_CL_INSUFFICIENT_ARGS)
svn: E205001: Try 'svn help merge' for more information
subversion/svn/merge-cmd.c:357: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_CL_INSUFFICIENT_ARGS)
svn: E205001: Second revision required
.
I get that error even if I change the source argument to a local path.
The odd thing is that if I take the original command, and replace the
source argument by its URL, it works:
.
$ svn merge ^/subversion/trunk/CHANGES CHANGES
--- Merging r1771273 through r1800349 into 'CHANGES':
U CHANGES
--- Recording mergeinfo for merge of r1771273 through r1800349 into
'CHANGES':
U CHANGES
So: how can I do a sync merge of file targets without specifying the
full URL of the source?
I'm using a 1.10-dev client.
Cheers,
Daniel
