I created a ^sandbox/feature-branch from ^trunk as a staging area to do a proof of concept.
But I don't want to reintegrate merge the feature branch back into ^trunk because of the sandbox in its name.
I'd like to create a ^branches/feature-branch and cherry-pick the changes one by one from the ^sandbox/feature-branch.
And then reintegrate merge the nicer named ^branches/feature-branch down into ^trunk.
In testing I can acquire the change set easily but the svn:mergeinfo is not what I expect. It does not include svn:mergeinfo entries added with the ^sandbox/feature-branch commits.
Creation Scenario
Working Copy: ^sandbox/feature-branch
cherry pick code from ^branches/another-feature-branch
This gives a commit with the changes and adds an svn:mergeinfo entry like this:
/branches/another-feature-branch:1234
Cherry Pick Scenario
Working Copy: ^branches/feature-branch
cherry pick code from ^sandbox/feature-branch
This takes the change but the svn:mergeinfo change is not what I expect:
/sandbox/feature-branch:2345
But there is no mention that the change originally came from ^branches/another-feature-branch:1234
Is there any way to get the original merge path included when cherry-picking commits in subversion?
