SVN - copy branch to trunk and soldier on?

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I'm a lone wolf dev with visualsvn on my own server. Nobody else ever.

Some time ago (months ago) I created a branch and began coding on that branch.
Now the code is cooler than cool and I want my state of things no to just be the trunk without any silly merging. I don't care about the old trunk code at all.

I probably didn't ever need to branch.

Does anyone know the syntax for this?

Thanks

If you are a lone developer then switch to GIT source control instead, as it does not require a "central server" and is way faster in commits.

Generally use the Tortoise series of tools (tortoisesvn, tortoisegit) as it has a very user friendly interface and make things easier to work with.
