Unable to kick off a merge

[Eric]

I created a test repository (A) with a couple of files in it then created a branch (B) from it using the Eclipse plugin Team -> Branch command. If I modify a file in B and commit it then I am able to call Team -> Merge on A to get the modification into A. However if I modify a file in A and commit it then when I call Team -> Merge on B I don't even get the "Remote location Dialog" box and nothing happens ! I am able to do the merge using the "bzr merge" command from the command line. Is this a bug or is there something I am doing incorrectly ?

I am working with Eclipse Gannymede 3.4.1 (for C/C++), Bazaar 1.7rc2 and version 1.1.1 of the bzr-eclipse plugin.

I have attached a zip file containing the Eclipse workspace which contains the 2 branches

I tried playing around and found that if I remove the line

parent_location = file:///c:/Documents%20and%20Settings/dangoore/My%20Documents/EclipseBZRWorkspace/MyProject/

from the file ...\MyProjectBranch2\.bzr\branch\branch.conf (and restart Eclipse) then when I do a Team -> Merge I at least get the "Remote location Dialog" box. This was purely by trial and error trying to make the 2 branches look identical. I have no idea what the significance of doing this is.

Thanks for reporting this.
It seems there is a problem with the spaces on the path.

[Guillermo Gonzalez (verterok)]

The problem occurs when the specified string is not correctly escaped.
java.net.URI don't make the escaping itself.

This is still causing problems in linux.
CommandLineException is raised if file path contains spaces.

This is maybe due to the fact that on unix ' ' doesnt have to be replaced by '%20'.
