[Python-Dev] Commands for correctly merging to the python 3.0 maintenance branch (original) (raw)

Getting the svnmerge-intergrated property right when merging trunk->py3k->release30 is a little tricky. The most concise set of instructions I have found which gets it right is to do the following in the 3.0 maintenance branch after committing to the py3k branch:

svn update svnmerge merge -r svn revert . svnmerge -M -F <test change still works, etc> svn commit -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt

Revert and property changes on "." and running that second svnmerge line is also useful if you do a "svn update" after the first svnmerge and get a conflict on the svnmerge-intregrated property. The -M option tells the utility to only make the property changes, while the -F tells it to go ahead despite the existence of local modification.

Cheers, Nick.
