Has anyone had any problems after moving to RTC from SVN doing stream to stream merging?

We are about to move from SVN to RTC for source control. There will be several streams that after the move to RTC will need to be merged. Has this been a problem for anyone? Just not sure what to expect.

same component in each stream or different?


you always go thru a workspace to update a stream.. and u can deliver changes AND also Component add/deletes too.. 

should be simple.. 

we are helping a couple teams migrate from SVN as well. one has 20+ 'projects' that they deliver completely independently. so a stream for each (old trunk) and a new integration stream between the users (branch) and the book of record (trunk) stream. 

The streams to be merged will have the same components and the history that is imported from SVN. Then of course any changes that are checked in between the migration from SVN and the merge.

 and streams and workspaces are cheap, they only  contain pointers to the changesets, baselines and snapshots..


so u can try it now, and throw away the streams and workspaces used for the test..

again, this should be, change the flow target, and deliver.

so you would create a workspace from the contributing stream, accept/load

then change the flow target of the workspace to the receiving stream, and deliver changes from the pending changes view.
(assuming there are no change conflicts)

One caveat on the "streams and workspaces" are cheap comment.   It is true that streams and workspaces are cheap, and can be deleted at any time, but the change sets  created by the import process cannot be deleted, so you don't want to try out the migration process in your production repository, because that will leave all those change sets taking up space in your repository.
