I've got a trunk and a maintenance branch. I periodically merge changes from the maintenance branch to trunk. Merge tracking is a help here.
Commits on the maintenance branch begin with an ID identifying the issue, backlog item or user story. When I merge changes to trunk, I'd like to merge those belonging to the same ID together, but I don't want to mix different IDs in the same merge. To do this, I explicitly name the revisions I want to merge on the command line. Now, how do I get Subversion to tell me which revisions of <branch> have not been merged to <trunk>? What I've been doing is either (1) firing up TortoiseSVN, which shows already merged revisions in grey when you start a log viewer from the merge dialog box or (2) actually doing the merge and then meditating over the diff of the svn:merge-info property before reverting the merge again and doing it properly. Both of these approaches are awkward in the extreme. Surely I'm overlooking something obvious. // Ben
