<title>Practical Example</title>
<para>As an practical example, consider the following scenario:
The changes to <filename>netmap.4</filename> in r238987 is
to be merged from CURRENT to 9-STABLE. The file resides in
<filename class="directory">head/share/man/man4</filename> and
according to <xref linkend="subversion-primer-merge"> this
is also where to do the merge. Note that in this example
all paths are relative to the top of the svn repository.
for more information on the directory layout, see
<xref linkend="subversion-primer-base-layout">.</para>
<para>The first step is to check the existing mergeinfo.</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>svn propget svn:mergeinfo -R stable/9/share/man/man4</userinput></screen>
<para>Take a quick note of how it looks before moving on to the next
step; doing the actual merge:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>svn merge -c r238987 svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/share/man/man4 stable/9/share/man/man4</userinput>
--- Merging r238987 into 'stable/9/share/man/man4':
U stable/9/share/man/man4/netmap.4
--- Recording mergeinfo for merge of r238987 into
'stable/9/share/man/man4':
U stable/9/share/man/man4</screen>
<para>Check that the merge info is still ok; the revision
number of the merged revision should be added. Once this
is checked, the only thing left is the actual commit.</para>
