Run sh install.sh
This will just copy the sgn executable to your /usr/local/bin directory.
cd into a subversion working copy and gently rub the lamp running sgn:
the genie will grant you three wishes.
This utility covers a single usage pattern, but aims to do it well.
The pattern is:
- You have a svn repo with a trunk and one or more branches
- All new work is committed first to the trunk
- It is regularly merged to the branches (example: production branch)
This utility hopefully makes this much less frustrating allowing you to:
- Commit to trunk
- Check that all is good and/or wait for production clearance
- svn switch to the production branch
- sgn (gently rub the lamp)
- You will be presented with a list of unmerged commits, you can now choose to
merge all of them or just some. - All will be duly recorded in the standard svn mergeinfo property
This has been tested with subversion 1.6 and 1.7.
This should theoretically work with 1.5 as well.
