Hi Dominic,

When I want to do a svn branch-merge review, I do the following:


1)      Check out a clean copy of the branch I wish to merge into

2)      In the new checkout, perform the merge locally (but do not commit)

3)      'rbt post' (no --revision-range necessary) from your working copy 
(which now has a uncommitted copy of exactly what the merge changes)


This ensures that you get a precise replica of what will be merged in your 
review request.  In my experience, doing a diff between two branches without 
actually performing the merge can give misleading results, especially if there 
is convoluted merge-info history to be considered.

Subject: Subversion diffs betwen different branches

I am looking at the recent changes in the RB 2.0 beta release, and am wondering 
if the following is possible:
I want to submit a post-commit review of the changes between two branches in 
svn (say, trunk and some research branch).
The closest I seem to be able to get to this is
rbt post --revision_range=123:456
But this won't quite do what I want in general.  What I would like to do is 
something like this:
rbt post --revision_range=trunk@123:branch@456
Is this possible?
