Create tag from trunk or branch:
svn copy http://svn.mydomain.com/repository/myproject/trunk \
http://svn.mydomain.com/repository/myproject/tags/release-1.0 \
-m "Tagging the 1.0 release."
The tag created is the snapshot of the trunk at the time the "svn copy" is executed.
To be more precisely, the revision # can be passed to "svn copy":
svn copy -r 12345 http://svn.mydomain.com/repository/myproject/trunk \
http://svn.mydomain.com/repository/myproject/tags/release-1.0 \
-m "Tagging the 1.0 release."
Merge from Trunk to a branch:
1. check out the branch (assume the path is /path/to/mybranch)
2. go to above folder
3. run the following commmand:
svn merge http://svn.mydomain.com/repository/myproject/trunk .
It will merge all changes from trunk to mybranch since last merge.
The above command is same as:
svn merge -rLastMergedRevision:HEAD http://svn.mydomain.com/repository/myproject/trunk .
View merge history:
"svn log" doesn't display the merge history. It only shows the merge commit:
