Hallo, Hans friendlily reminded me to copy my latest changes in the trunk over to the branch, so I thought I'd briefly outline the process for doing so: As we learned last semester, a branch is simply a copy of a directory at a certain revision with a shared history up to the point of copying. You can find the exact revision of a branch's branching by using "svn log --stop-on-copy", so in this case: svn log --stop-on-copy https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-extended...

tells me that my directory was copied over at revision 9819.

So, now that I know where I'm starting from, I pull down a copy of the branch I'm merging into (merging happens locally in case of conflicts): svn co https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-extended... cd senderfruit

then merge everything from 9819 to the present (from the trunk): svn merge -r 9819:HEAD https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk/abstractions/s...

and, most importantly, I leave a note in the log of what I merged so that if I want to merge again, I'll know where I left off. svn ci -m "merged r 9819:9852 from trunk/abstractions/senderfruit"

As you'll note, all this revision bookkeeping is a giant pain in the ass.

That's being supposedly fixed in SVN 1.5, where you'll be able to simply say "svn merge [URL] [WorkingCopy]" and it will figure the rest out. Now if they'd just release it.

Cheers Luke
