I'm having trouble subscribing. if there's a trick please let me know. I sent mail to users-subscribe with just 'subscribe j...@zeevee.com' in the body.... no answer.
We use a lot of project branches, that is, we branch from trunk, develop a feature and then merge it back to trunk. Quite often, we need to merge a change or two from trunk out to our branch along the way. What I have noticed is that when I go to merge the branch back to trunk, the changes that were merged from trunk to the branch are included when I do a 'svn mergeinfo --show-revs eligible <branchname> <trunk>'. Why is this? Shouldn't the system know that these were merged out and therefore do not need to be merged in? I do not ever use 'ignore-ancestry'. I end up doing a lot of 'svn merge --record-only's to block the reverse merges. Please reply directly as I do not seem to be able to subscribe. Thanks, JLM
