SVN - merge one branch into another?

up vote28down votefavorite 10

I'd like to merge all the changes that took place between rev 10 & the HEAD rev on http://url-of-branch-aand apply them to http://url-of-branch-b. Something like... svn merge -r 10:HEAD http://url-of-branch-a Is this possible? If so, what is the syntax? I am running the SVN client from the unix command line. The SVN client version is 1.4 EDIT: Yes, my specific solution was... change directory to the location of my working copy that wants to receive the changes (branch-b) svn merge -r 10:HEAD http://url-of-branch-a This merges the changes from 'branch-a' into 'branch-b' svn share|edit edited Aug 12 '09 at 14:26 asked Aug 12 '09 at 14:00 user62732 182139

3   Up voted as this is a common need, has a good answer from Billy3, and is poorly documented in other places on the web. – fooMonster Apr 12 '11 at 11:40 3   You also need to know when the branch was taken. You can do this (svn log --stop-on-copy .) in your branch to get the revision number you branched from. – Jamie McNaught Jun 15 '12 at 12:05
