"Resetting" a repository

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a project with a test repository and a live repository (and a development repository).

Over time, the test repository has had merges which were in a quite different order to the live repository, so it no longer fulfills its role of being pretty much like the live repository and therefore a good place to test. The two have diverged too far.

We've reached a point in the project when it would be good to reset the test repository so that it is exactly the same as the live one. We can then merge new work from the development repository.

I think that if I just merge the live repository into the test respository it will not remove extra (non-conflicting) code. On this occasion I want to remove all extra code and resolve all conflicts in favour of the live repository version.

I'd appreciate advice on the best way to do this.

Thanks
