Merging upstream releases
=========================

(copied from samba, original text by Steve Langasek)

$ svn-load -t packages/ttf-tmuni/tags/upstream_${version} \
svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-fonts packages/fonts-tibetan-machine/branches/upstream .

The svn-load command is in the aptly-named "svn-load" package.  The 
above is the simplest use of svn-load to merge a new upstream version
into the "upstream" branch and copy it to a per-version tag directory;
please see "svn-load --help" for a list of other options that are of
interest.  In particular, you may find that the --wc option saves time
if you're on a slow connection, and the "-m" option may be needed if
files are moved around in the upstream repository and this needs to be
indicated to prevent subversion treating this as addition and deletion
of unrelated files.

Note that this only imports the new upstream version into the branch, it
doesn't merge it onto the trunk.  For this, you should go to your
(clean) working copy of the trunk and run:

$ svn merge \
svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-fonts/packages/ttf-tmuni/tags/upstream_{prev_version,new_version}
$ svn diff # (to make sure the diff makes sense)
$ svn commit -m "merge upstream $version"
