Version Control with Subversion, 2nd Edition

Name

svn merge — Apply the differences between two sources to a working copy path.

Synopsis

svn merge sourceURL1[@N] sourceURL2[@M] [WCPATH]

svn merge sourceWCPATH1@N sourceWCPATH2@M [WCPATH]

svn merge [[-c M]... | [-r N:M]...] [SOURCE[@REV] [WCPATH]]

Description

In the first form, the source URLs are specified at revisions N and M. These are the two sources to be compared. The revisions default to HEAD if omitted.

In the second form, the URLs corresponding to the source working copy paths define the sources to be compared. The revisions must be specified.

In the third form, SOURCE can be either a URL or a working copy path (in which case its corresponding URL is used). If not specified, SOURCE will be the same as WCPATH. SOURCE in revision REV is compared as it existed between revisions N and M for each revision range provided. If REV is not specified, HEAD is assumed.

-c M is equivalent to -r <M-1>:M, and -c -M does the reverse: -r M:<M-1>. If no revision ranges are specified, the default range of 1:HEAD is used. Multiple -c and/or -r instances may be specified, and mixing of forward and reverse ranges is allowed—the ranges are internally compacted to their minimum representation before merging begins (which may result in no-op).

WCPATH is the working copy path that will receive the changes. If WCPATH is omitted, a default value of “.” is assumed, unless the sources have identical basenames that match a file within “.”. In this case, the differences will be applied to that file.
