[gs-devel] Re: ESP Ghostscript merge

[Till Kamppeter]

I have merged in the gs-esp-gpl-merger branch now. According to "svn 
diff" only the changes from the ESP Ghostscript patches are done. 
Strange: The "svn merge" seemed to download all files from the source 
tree, also the ones identical in the trunk and the branch. The "svn 
commit" seemed to upload also all files in the libpng subdirectory which 
are not changed according to "svn diff".

The e-mail notification for this upload hangs in the moderation queue as 
it has more than 2 MB.

How can I easily check whether the trunk and the gs-esp-gpl-merger 
branch are identical now?
