Re: Unable to commit changes from svn:mergeinfo file

[Vikas Mayur]

Even I am not sure of svnmergeinfo advantages but just come to know why it is used when Ashish shared this information :)

Thanks for the info Ashish, it all kind of falls into the advanced svn category for me and I don't really have the desire to understand it :-)

AFAIK the use of maintaining the svn:mergeinfo is encouraged by subversion project after release 1.5. This is actually required when you maintain such release branch and that takes update from trunk. (As I remembered that something similar is commented by Jacuqes in past, But I could be wrong.)

Sharing the link that can provide more insight:

Let see what Jacques has to say about it.

Sorry if this is an svn noob question, but what's so great about this mergeinfo file that it's worth the extra effort anyway?

Thanks

Hello Jacques,


And wait for someone like you to commit the changes later on.

What can be the better solution to handle this ?



Thanks !

As we all know that we are maintaining the details of revision (trunk revision details that we apply to RB9.04) in the svn:mergeinfo file. But certainly we(Me, Vikas and few others don't have framework and OFBiz root files / folder write access) don't have commit right for that file so most of the time we leave that file as it is. Is it good that we commit the code in release branch and explicitly inform to commit the changes in svn:mergeinfo file ? Please let me know your thoughts on this, as your comment on this will help us not to miss any version info from svn:mergeinfo file after committing the code.
