how is this different from the existing merge_into_workspace?
Comment 2 by Dirk Heinrichs, Jun 24, 2012
Hmm, didn't even know it existed. However, it takes a revision number, not a branch name, like propagate does.

A branch name is just a way to specify a revision; it means the head revision of the branch. For a revision argument, you can use a selector to get the same thing: h:<branch>

One difference is you don't get the conflict resolution machinery with merge_into_workspace.

As it is now, mtn propagate automatically commits the result to the database. This is suboptimal, because there's no chance of verifying the result prior to commit. So, something like prop_into_workspace would be nice, where workspace contains a checkout of the destination branch. Thanks... Dirk
