Hello rangers,
I have some merge problems in Subversion. There are currently a few branches which are directly branched off of the trunk. Now there is a problem with the SVN metadata (most probably the svn:mergeinfo properties) when I try to merge new changes from the trunk into one of the branches. Obviously SVN doesn't recognize some changes (which are really there) because it thinks the corresponding revisions are already merged into the branch.
The idea to solve this problem the easiest way seems to be to delete all svn:mergeinfo properties. Can anybody tell me what could be the maximum impact when deleting all these properties in the trunk and all open branches? I suppose it could only be a little bit harder to reintegrate the open branches. Are there any other disadvantages which could result from a complete cleanup of mergeinfos?
