Merge changes from trunk into branch in SVN
Answer:
Assume you have created a branch in SVN, which is at revision 125. Now the trunk's head revision is increased to 150, and you want to merge the changes happened in trunk and port to branch also.
In your branch's working folder, execute:
# svn merge -r 125:HEAD_REVISION http://example.com/svn/repos/demo/trunk .
That's it.

Downgrade the format of a Subversion working copy
Answer:
Sometimes, when you upgraded the local subversion working copy, but others use an older client to access it, error likes "This client is too old to work with working copy..." will appear.
To fix this, you can consider downgrade the format of the subversion working copy.
E.g. Downgrade to 1.4
# change-svn-wc-format.py /path/to/working/copy 1.4
The useful python script can be downloaded here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py
