= RevtreePlugin enhancer for use with svnmerge =

== Description ==

!MergeEnhancer is a plugin for the RevtreePlugin: it analyses the properties
that are added by the svnmerge tool and renders merge operations between the
repository branches.

== Overview ==

The plugin has been developed following a request of several RevtreePlugin 
users. I don't use the svnmerge tool myself, so the plugin is far from being
complete and should be considered in alpha stage. It has been tested with a
copy of the original http://trac.edgewall.org SVN repository.

== How it works ==

(to be documented)

== Installation ==

=== Build the plugin ===

As with any other plugin, download the plugin code, and build a plugin egg 
file. The !MergeEnhancer plugin source code comes with the RevtreePlugin (see
RevtreePlugin#Installation), but is not built within the RevtreePlugin egg.

To build the !MergeEnhancer plugin, change the current directory to the 
`enhancers` and build the egg file:
{{{
$ cd revtreeplugin/0.11/enhancers/mergeenhancer 
$ python setup.py bdist_egg
}}}
then copy the egg file to the global plugin directory or the project plugin
directory

=== Enable the plugin ===

From the [t:wiki:WebAdmin WebAdmin] plugin interface or from your `trac.ini`
file, enable the !MergeEnhancer plugin.[[BR]]
The !MergeEnhancer plugin appears as `revtree.mergeenhancer` in the plugin 
list.

As you have probably enabled all the revtree features with
{{{
[components]
revtree.* = enabled
}}}
when you installed the RevtreePlugin, the !MergeEnhancer plugin will be loaded
along with the RevtreePlugin.

The !MergeEnhancer plugin can be safely used in conjunction with the default 
!SimpleEnhancer plugin that is self-contained in the RevtreePlugin. The 
default plugin is useful to depict the initial changeset of a new branch.

You can perform the same operations from the [t:wiki:WebAdmin WebAdmin] 
interface.
