The procedure for a branch is harder, you can do sparse, you just have to do the tree one level at a time in sparse mode until you get to the leaf you want to commit at. Then you do the merge at the top of the sparse tree, then commit: (Recent example done to help someone with there first MFC:) #!/bin/sh mkdir ~/svnwork.r328011 cd ~/svnwork.r328011 svn checkout svn+ssh://repo.freebsd.org/base --depth immediates cd base/stable && svn update --set-depth=immediates cd 11 && svn update --set-depth=immediates cd sys && svn update --set-depth=immediates cd amd64 && svn update --set-depth=infinity cd ~/svnwork.r328011/base/stable/11 svn merge -c r328011,r329162 ^/head svn diff >~/svnwork.r328011/diff.OUT You now no longer have that excuse :-) -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
