[Svnmerge] Svnmerge.py and Subversion 1.5

[Hermanns, Horst]

Hi,
 
we tried to use svnmerge with subversion 1.5 (server) an run into
problems because of property conflicts.
 
Subversion 1.5 creates parallel its own merge properties (no way to
prevent this). Svnmerge does handle "his" merge properties during a
merge in an special way to prevent conflicts but this does not affect
the new merge properties.
 
We decided not to use svnmerge with Subversion 1.5. and decided to ceate
a merge plugin for eclipse (subclipse) to handle merges similar to
svnmerge (prevent bidirectional/repeated merges, ...) based on the new
merge properties.
 
Cheers / Horst

Will an upgrade to svn 1.5 still work with svnmerge.py?

	Hi
	
	We are currently using svnmerge.py and I'm very happy with it.
Some developers are though complaining about the blame function beeing
messed up since it's the CM that owns a lot of changes due to the
merges. I looked at upgrading to svn 1.5, but the merge tracking seems
to lack some functionality like blocking changesets. Also, we do cyclic
merges and svn 1.5 seems to make that complicated. 
	
	Is there anyone else who have decided not to use the merge
tracking in svn 1.5 and stick to using svnmerge.py? Please share your
experiences. 
	
	If we upgrade to svn 1.5, will svnmerge.py work as fine as
before? I'm guessing I won't get the blame functionality properly though
if I still use svnmerge.py..
	
	Cheers / Erik
