Thanks for your help. Your suggestions are understood so far. One more question: What administrative files are affected - surely the "history"-file and the "val-tags"-file. Is there another one? And, how have i to modify for example the "history"-file? The information stored there is separated with "|"-bars. Some of these information are understandable for me, some not. Larry, you said that i only have to merge the contents - does that mean that the information stored in the "history"-file, for example, are "one-way"-couplings, only affecting the working directories so that these are o.k. if i check out the new repository to a new working directory? And that it is insensible to the sequencing of lines?
