Heh, OK, I got it to work, but this is just guessing. cvs update -P -R -b -j v1_1_patches The -b switch did the trick. What does the -b switch do exactly? And how come not using still merges some stuff but not everything? What defines the merge set when only using the -j switch? What are these mergepoints and do I have to turn them on? Thanks, James. -----Original Message----- From: James Neave Sent: 30 March 2005 13:46 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] Merging branches. Hi, Complete CVS novice here. I have a patches branch (V1_1_patches) and the main development branch (working towards V1_2) I recently merged the changes made to V1_1 ready for the release of V1_2, but some of them appear to have gone missing. Specifically, it seems to be the last changes I made to the branch. I used WinCVS to do the update/merging. What command should I use to guarantee that all the changes from V1_1 make it to the dev branch? Thanks, James. The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
