 When back in the merge-dialog, press "r" (resolved)
+===== PART 7: Verify that you are happy with merge =====
+<file>
+alfg@pc4400:~/twoDevelopers/aBranch$ svn diff
+</file>
+Note how it is difficult to understand the diff ==> we need to configure a diff tool!
+To configure a nice diff-viewer, you need to replace a line in your $HOME/.subversion/config file like this:
+<file>
+diff-cmd = /home/alfg/bin/diffwrap.sh
+</file>
+The script "diffwrap.sh" has be created somewhere on your PC. The script is only TWO LINES long!! (Make sure it is executable with "chmod +x scriptname")
+The content of this script (only two lines) for emacs users can be:
+<file>
+#!/bin/sh
+emacs --eval "(ediff-files "\"$6"\" \""$7"\" )"
+</file>
+(In emacs, use | (pipeline) key in the "ediff" dialog to toggle between vertical/horizontal diff view)
+The content of this script for vi users can be
+<file>
+#!/bin/sh
+vimdiff $6 $7
+</file>
+Visually verify the diff again using the diff viewer
+<file>
+alfg@pc4400:~/twoDevelopers/aBranch$ svn diff
+</file>
+When you are happy with the diffs, do
+<file>
+alfg@pc4400:~/twoDevelopers/aBranch$ svn commit -m "Successfully branched trunk to my branch"
+</file>
+==> DONE
+===== PART 8: Merge back to trunk =====
+After the conflict is resolved and committed from branch, go back to trunk
+<file>
+alfg@pc4400:~/twoDevelopers/trunk$ svn update
+alfg@pc4400:~/twoDevelopers/trunk$ svn merge --reintegrate file://$HOME/svnrepos/testproject/branches/aBranch
+</file>
+AT THIS POINT YOU WANT TO PASS THE TESTS (IF THIS WAS NORESM)
+<file>
+alfg@pc4400:~/twoDevelopers/trunk$ svn commit -m "merged aBranch back to trunk"
+</file>
+==> Observe that you don't get any conflict this time. Svn knows that the conflict is already resolved.
+===== Other important points =====
+  * The merge is not completed until you commit!
+  * You have to know if you are doing a reintegrate merge or a merge from trunk (see noresm wiki)
+  * You can undo the merge with alfg@pc4400:~/twoDevelopers/aBranch$ svn revert -R .
+  * When you have done a "reintegrate merge", consider  your branch dead! (svn delete branchUrl -m "removed reintegrated branch aBranch")
+  * If you insist on keeping reintegrated branches alive, there are two options:
+      - Start using another version control system
+      - Make sure you have latest svn version (version >= 1.7), Then read (and understand)  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.branchmerge.advanced.html#svn.branchmerge.advanced.reintegratetwice
