Thanks Max and Larry for your replies. I am convinced that our server is too old to deal with the -B flag.
Here's the situation I am trying to fix. I have a testing branch that was created many changes ago from the dev. branch. I need to sync them up. I was thinking of deleting the test branch and then re-creating it. Is there a way to do this with a join instead? Will the join take care of files that are deleted from the dev. branch but exist in the test branch?
