(only a rename conflict > with "test_new.txt", looks like cross branch rename doesn't work) If you update using a 51d client the rename can behave strangely, as there were bugs on the client side in that, but another update pretty much always fixes it. Renaming across branches is almost always a conflict - more sophisticated handling is possible but I'm not even going to touch that until everything is 100% right (I haven't worked out all the possible combinations yet anyway). It looks like the special case for merging a branch with itself isn't working. Should be a quick fix. Tony
