I've had a discussion with a collegue yesterday and he wondered why
--reintegrate is neccessary for reintegration merges at all. He supposed
SVN should be able to determine that the intended merge is a reintegrate
by looking at the mergeinfo.
So, this is just a question out of curiousity: Why is it neccessary to
specify --reintegrate? Or: In which case would a potential
auto-detection fail?
As always, the book is here for you:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.html#svn.branchemerge.basicmerging.reintegrate
I read that, but failed to understand why the mergeinfo-Properties set
on the branch do not suffice to figure out what to reintegrate...
There is also an (older) article on Collabnet discussing some
reintegrate specific info that might shed some light:
