Hi Max,
I've been forced to work on Windows recently (due to my wireless card
not working under linux), and because I did not have Python installed I
just downloaded the svnmerge.exe windows executable from orcaware.com.
When I do "svnmerge --version" it tells me its r29854. This appears to
be pretty out of date, so I guess it would be a good idea for me to
install Python and get the latest version of svnmerge.
Also when I simply do "svnmerge merge" I get the following message:
svnmerge: multiple sources found. Explicit source argument (-S/--source)
required.
The merge sources available are:
/scummvm/trunk
/scummvm/branches/gsoc2008-rtl
/scummvm/branches/gsoc2008-tfmx
/scummvm/branches/gsoc2008-gui
So in order to merge I have to do "svnmerge merge -S /scummvm/trunk".
But in terms of the svn:mergeinfo property thats on my branch, i'm not
sure exactly why its there. Will it be safe to simply delete it?
Cheers,
Kenny
