Did you recently upgrade SVN from 1.4x to 1.5x? If so, you may that you cannot merge changes because you will get an error similar to this:

Retrieval of mergeinfo unsupported

The reason for this is because Subversion 1.5 has started the implementation of a new feature called “Merge Tracking”, which means that Subversion is now tracking what changes have been merged where in your code - similar to how it tracks changes made to your files between revisions.

On Tuesday I have a short presentation on getting started with Subversion (SVN) to the local ColdFusion User Group of Central New York.

The presentation focused on the following key elements:

* Learn about the client-server relationship with SVN
* Learn about setting up a SVN server
* Learn about the actions involved with using SVN
* Learn about the tools and resources

Here is a link to a great cheat sheet (or reference card/sheet, whichever you prefer to call it):
