Hello,

I'm new to svnmerge.py and I just want to make sure that I haven't missed 
anything.

I've gto following scenario:

1. Copy trunk to branches/a
2. Do changes on trunk
3. Do changes on Branch A (Potential conflict with trunk)
4. Merge changes in Trunk to Branch A, resolve conflict, commit
5. Reintegrate Branch A with Trunk


Since svnmerge.py doesn't merge back the revision made in step 4, I need to 
resolve the merge conflict a second time in step 5. This is a potenial pitfall. 
I've read the discussion in 
http://www.nabble.com/overzealous-exclusion-of-reflective-merges--td17701901.html
 about a similar scenario. Further more, I know that part should be improved 
with the new, not yet stable enough, Merge Tracking feature in Subversion 1.5.

I'm right? Is is a second conflict resolution really necessary? Do you have any 
hints or best practises how to handle this problem?

Many thanks for your patient to a dummy svnmerge.py user ;-}

Kuno
