Would it have made a difference in the subversion processing if the empty trunk had been copied to create the branch before the initial import? That is, would having a common ancestor as the parent directory have made the 'adds' merge correctly? It is probably rare to create a branch that is unrelated to anything else. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com
