- Create the branch using
svn copy http://www.dealii.org/svn/dealii/trunk/ http://www.dealii.org/svn/dealii/branches/new-branch-name
- Either check out the new branch or switch your working copy by
svn switch http://www.dealii.org/svn/dealii/branches/new-branch-name
This command assumes you are in the top level directory, the one
containing deal.II and tests
- Initialize the merge tracking svnmerge: in the top level directory, call
svnmerge.py init
svn ci -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt
rm svnmerge-commit-message.txt
This should be done before making any local changes!
