Problem reintegrating a branch into the trunk in Subversion 1.5
- by pako
I'm trying to reintegrate a development branch into the trunk in my Subversion 1.5 repository. I merged all the changes from the trunk to the development branch prior to this operation. Now when I try to reintegrate the changes from the branch I get the following error message:
Command: Reintegrate merge https://dev/svn/branches/devel into C:\trunk
Error: Reintegrate can only be used if revisions 280 through 325 were previously
Error: merged from https://dev/svn/trunk to the reintegrate
Error: source, but this is not the case:
Error: branches/devel/images/test
Error: Missing ranges: /trunk/images/test:280-324
...
The message then goes on complaining about some folders in my project. But when I try to merge the changes from the trunk to the development branch again, TortoiseSVN tells me that there's nothing to merge (as I already merged all the changes before):
Command: Merging revisions 1-HEAD of https://dev/svn/trunk into C:\devel, respecting ancestry
Completed: C:\devel
I'm trying to follow the instructions from here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.html, but there's nothing about solving such a problem.
Any ideas? Perhaps I should just delete the trunk and then make a copy of my branch? But I'm not really sure if it's safe.
