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.

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? -- Get the Review Board Power Pack at http://www.reviewboard.org/powerpack/ --- Sign up for Review Board hosting at RBCommons: https://rbcommons.com/ --- Happy user?
