Julian Foad commented on SVN-3361: ---------------------------------- Later followed by SVN-4874. > Foreign repository checking (during merge) is too strict > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SVN-3361 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-3361 > Project: Subversion > Issue Type: Bug > Components: unknown > Affects Versions: 1.5.x > Reporter: Subversion Importer > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.8-consider > > Attachments: 1_3361_1.sh > > > {noformat:nopanel=true} > It appears that, when executing a merge, a repository is deemed a "foreign > repository" based on a simple match of the url. > This is often wrong. A DNS search domain, multiple hostnames, etc can all > fool > subversion into thinking it is using a foreign repos when this is not the > case. > Wouldn't it be just as easy to use the Repository UUID to make this > determination? > {noformat} > Original issue reported by *mcrawfor* -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
