how do I merge changes between to branches in cvs [message #158128] Thu, 22 June 2006 12:11 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I have a project that I have created a release R1 branch in CVS for. I
now wish to merge several changes from R1 back into HEAD.

When I try to use Team -> Merge, setting the end tag to HEAD and the
start tag to Root_R1 I am told there is nothing to merge??? However a
compare definitely shows the file in R1 to be different from HEAD.

any help appreciated

Try doing the merge in a workspace that is synced to HEAD, using Root_R1 as
a start and whatever the current tip of R1 is for end tag. In other words,
merge "from R1" rather than "to HEAD".

Open the Eclipse Help and search for "merging from a branch" - one of
the matching pages describes exactly the process to follow.

Hope this helps,
Eric
