Merging with svnX

Hi,

I'm using svnX on a Mac -- does anybody know how to merge changes from one
branch to another using svnX (rather than svn in the command line)?

Or do people have other suggestions for GUIs for svn for a Mac that work well?

Peace,
George

GUI schmuie. :)

I'd suggest using the command line client, I've found it much more predictable. Merging is actually not that hard. See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn-book.html#svn.ref.svn.c.merge - the examples should be all you need.

Basically, the process is: Check out the thing you want to merge *to*. Use svn merge and specify the thing you want to merge *from*, and the revisions you want to merge (dev.plone.org is useful here).

Then resolve any local confilcts, run the tests (!) and do svn commit.
