This is perfectly normal, sometimes a file is changed multiple times for a 
single feature. In order to merge the feature branch back into trunk, you just 
merge those changes, either in a single step or one after the other.

The first part of this sentence doesn't make sense to me, it looks like broken 
English. Concerning how to get at the 15, you can just go through each file in 
your branch and check when they were last changed using "svn log", but that is 
unnecessarily complicated. Just look at the log of the branch as a whole in 
order to decide which changes to merge.

BTW: I have the feeling as if you wanted to replace the version of a file in 
trunk with the version in the branch. This of course can be done, just use 
"svn copy", but it is a bad approach to branching and merging. The reason is 
that if trunk was changed, the changes there are effectively discarded.

Still, I'm not really sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. 
Really, giving an example would help, all with what you have, what you do, and 
what you expect to have afterwards. This still isn't clear.

Good luck!

For what it's worth, this isn't the first complaint I've heard about
the spec files we "maintain" in our tree.  In our defense, we do
remove the packages/ directory from the shipped tarballs, so it takes
an industrious user to actually find and use the spec files.  But it
appears that the status quo is still causing problems, so fixes would
be appreciated (or we can just nuke 'em from the repo).

That is because Nico keeps bringing it up :)

I'd say we nuke them now and bring them back as soon as someone
steps up to maintain them again.

It's been quite a while. With 1.7 in alpha testing and RHEL 6 in
production, it seemed a good time to do so.

Nuke from orbit. A "README" with a pointer to RPMforge "extras" and to
Fedora would make sense.

I'm trying to submit an issue to the issue tracker. Turns out there's
an old account there called "nkadel", but it's not tied to
"nka...@gmail.com". It's probably my ancient nka...@comcast.net
account. I've set up a new one as "nkadelgarcia", as the easiest
workaround, so I'll drop in notes there.

Actually, no.  I've heard this complaint from *other* people, not just Nico. :)
