Yes. It sounds strange, but specify a full repo-relative path. instead of: $ cd head/sys/kern $ svn cp kern_tty.c kern_cons.c $ ..stuff.. $ svn commit you should do this: $ cd head/sys/kern $ svn cp $REPO/head/sys/kern/kern_tty.c kern_cons.c $ ..stuff.. $ svn commit The difference is that in the second form the command can chase inherited mergeinfo around wherever it may lead and make sure that side effects are accounted for. In the first form, the command doesn't have access to mergeinfo inheritance info so it has to make an empty 'I have no idea!' mergeinfo to block any inheritance that *might* be there. -- Peter Wemm - [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; KI6FJV "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 "If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution." -- Robert Sewell _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
