Re: renaming a file on the main trunk, development on a branch goes a head on the old filename, merging the changes |

I'm no CVS expert, but in my thinking, the easiest thing to do would be
to merge the branch into the trunk at the last point before the files
where renamed. Then rename the files and split off a new branch.
If you've already renamed the files on the trunk, I'd still do the same
thing:
1) Retroactively, merge the branch into the trunk at the last point
before the files were renamed
2) Split off a new branch just after the files on the trunk were
renamed.
3) Merge the tip of the trunk into the new branch.
As I said though, I'm no CVS guru, so I'd wait for someone else to
confirm this is a good idea before trying it. (Or at least backup
before trying it.)

hi,
-we develop a new product line on the main trunk

-merging a renamed file is not possible
is there any workaround to treat this problem?
