Hello - My question is basically the same as this one:
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2010-04/0097.shtml We are forced to use an unwieldy and inconvenient directory structure. Spare checkouts are a big help to us. But it seems that (in the few times I have tried) to reintegrate a feature branch to trunk it has failed if either of the working copies are sparse. I believe I understand why this is; when you merge from trunk to your branch, the merge info cannot get applied to the directories you have omitted from your branch working copy. And when you finally go to reintegrate your branch back to trunk, the reintegrate fails because SVN sees you have not applied all the changes to certain directories. Perhaps I have done this wrong. If I have the same sparse directory structures in my trunk & branch working copies (i.e. I made them sparse in exactly the same way), should the reintegrate merge work? Otherwise is there a way to tell SVN that the directories I omitted from my working copies are irrelevant and do not need to be merged? Thank you, BN
