[Numpy-discussion] Using svnmerge on numpy: am I missing something ?

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

    for my work related on scons, I have a branch build_with_scons in 
the numpy trunk, which I have initialized exactly as documented on the 
numpy wiki (http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/wiki/MakingBranches). 
When I try to update my branch with the trunk, I got suprising merge 
request, in perticular, it tried to merge all trunk revision up to 2871, 
whereas I created my branch with a copy from the trunk at revision 4676. 
Am I missing something ? Shouldn't it try to merge from the revision I 
started the branch (since this revision is a common ancestor) ?

    cheers,

    David
