+=== merge ===
+
+For those of you, who are courageous enough to merge two branches, or adequate, here's a little description about merge:
+The merge command takes the difference between two repositories (or revisions) and inserts the diff into a working copy.
+
+You can for example use it like that: 
+{{{
+svn merge <remote-trunk> -rOLDREVISION:NEWREVISION <destination>
+}}}
+
+
+It is important to understand, that this command acts like a diff-chat combination. You could also type:
+{{{
+svn diff <remote-trunk> -rOLDREVISION:NEWREVISION > patch-file && cd <destination> && patch -p0 < <path-to-patch-file>
+}}}
