I don’t know why I never realized that merging was possible in the GUI of Visual SVN but, alas, I hadn’t. It turns out it’s been right there in front of my face all along!

Here’s a situation I ran into today.

I have a personal branch (personal repo too) for a feature I’m working on. After the feature was complete and all was green, I want to merge the feature into the trunk. It’s really simple.

First thing you’ll want to do is make sure you have committed your changes to your feature branch.

Next go ahead and switch to the trunk of your repository.

Now you can start the merging process by clicking the “Merge” button (duh. ).

Now the common TortoiseSVN Merge dialog will popup and you can merge like you’re already used to.
