Hi dev list, I saw a section in https://wiki.apache.org/subversion/SupportedMergeScenarios saying about non-tracked merges: "### WHICH MERGES ARE THESE? WHEN ARE THEY APPROPRIATE? WHEN DO THEY HAPPEN SILENTLY?"
A merge like that would make sense if you wanted to do a Git-style rebase for whatever reason. You would create a new project branch off your development branch, cherry-pick all the non-merge changes from the old project branch onto it (possibly grouping or reordering or deleting commits), then delete the old branch. The new branch shouldn't have mergeinfo from the old branch since the old branch is getting deleted and replaced. Not sure if you guys want to keep that doc updated; just thought I would point it out. Also, thanks for Subversion, especially the automatic reintegration stuff. It's really cool! -Matt
