If you merge something to a branch that is intended to follow the trunk, merge everything up to the desired revision, and not only parts of it.

If you don't know how to do that: One possible way is explained at http://wiki.lyx.org/devel/pmwiki.php/DevelTips/Branches
I follow a different procedure: From time to time, I check whether any changes have been made to the trunk. Then I apply

svn merge -r<previousSync>:HEAD svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk

to my personal branch.

I see that this may be dangerous if not applied carefully and systematically. When copying the branch back to trunk, we must double-check the changes, unless we want to take the risk to loose some patches.

Abdel, what is your approach? We really have to make sure that our branch experiment does not end in a massacre!
