Tortoise 1.9: Merge does not record mergeinfo


I'm using Tortoise 1.9 as a SVN-client for a Apache Subversion Server 1.7. I realize that none of my merges are recorded to svn:mergeinfo. Neither "svn mergeinfo --show-revs" nor the Tortoise property-display show the merged revisions. Merges of other developers (not all of them) are recorded. It seems that the same developers always maintain svn:merginfo and others never maintain this.

I´m not sure, whether this is a problem of the version of the client compared to the servers version. I have searched several articles dealing with the same - but did not find any explanation for this. Is there something I can do to debug/trace this?


Solution

  • Found it. And whats worse, the answer was given inf the link I had referenced myself. But hat overlooked it:

    So the answer is: "Ignore ancestry" must not be checked when doing the merge. Otherwise the svn:mergeinfo will not be maintained.
