Thanks. I tried that and also the approach to merge the differences by hand, but both result in lost version history on the files in the trunk. In the end, I simply copied over the distribution onto the trunk version and did the necessary svn add/remove by hand. As a result, there's no history leading back to the external/pybench-2.0/ tree (though I've added a checkin comment), but it is possible to see and follow the changes I made to the trunk version. BTW, just saw the discussion burst about externally managed packages: The way I see things with pybench is that development can and should happen in the trunk, but I reserve the freedom to use that version as basis for new external releases which I then merge back into the trunk. This does sometimes mean incompatible changes or even removal of things others have added, but then if it wouldn't the package wouldn't be /externally/ managed :-) That said, being the maintainer of such a package becomes harder not easier by contributing it to the Python core. Contributors need to be aware of this, but Python core developers should as well. It's all about working together rather than fighting each other.
