To apply the differences between two sources use the Merge option ( Alt+M) ). The Merge dialog provides two modes:
-> (Mode 1 - the difference between two revisions can be merged to a third working copy (File) or to a remote repository (URL). The first and second revision sources can reside either on a working copy (2 Files) or a remote repository (2 URLs). The merged copy is output to a working copy (File) or remote repository (URL). If revision is omitted the default is HEAD.
Mode 2 - the difference between two remote repository (URL) versions can be merged into one. The output is merged to the URL unless a working copy path is specified.
In all instances the URL/File path at revision is specified using the syntax [URL/File]@[REVISION]
For example: svn://esvn.umputun.com/esvn/trunk/ChangeLog@PREV
If the path is omitted for mode 1 or 2, a default value of '.' is assumed, unless the sources have identical basenames that match a file within '.': in which case, the differences will be applied to that file. The following is therefore true when the URL/File path is a omitted (where N = Revision 1, M = Revision 2, WC = Working Copy, URL = Remote Repository):
If N = WC & M = WC | WC
If N = WC & M = URL | WC
If N = URL & M = WC | WC
If N = URL & M = URL | URL
The Merge dialog provides the following field for mode 1 and mode 2 respectively:
Mode 1
The source for first revision. Can be local path (File) or remote repository (URL).
The latest revision in the repository.
The "pristine" revision of an item in a working copy.
The last revision in which an item changed before (or at) BASE.
The revision just before the last revision in which an item changed. (Technically, COMMITTED - 1.)
Use the R to select a revision using the Log dialog. Use H or P to select HEAD or PREV respectively.
The source for second revision. Can be local path (File) or remote repository (URL).
The latest revision in the repository.
The "pristine" revision of an item in a working copy.
The last revision in which an item changed before (or at) BASE.
The revision just before the last revision in which an item changed. (Technically, COMMITTED - 1.)
Use the R to select a revision using the Log dialog. Use H or P to select HEAD or PREV respectively.
The destination to the differences between revision 1 and 2 will be merged. Can be working copy (File) or remote repository (URL).
Mode 2
The URL source for the first revision. Use U to display the URL wizard.
The URL source for the second revision. Use U to display the URL wizard.
Path to working copy where output will be made as apposed to the default which is to a remote repository. Use ... to display the common Open dialog used to change and specify the local path.
Operate on single directory only.
Try operation but make no changes.
