Some svn commands

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:
svn log
