I just checked your permissions. AFAIK they should be ok to create a new
branch by using (all in one line

svn copy
https://u_bonnes@ethernut.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ethernut/trunk \
https://u_bonnes@ethernut.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ethernut/branches/devnut_uwe_cm3integration

svn co 
https://u_bonnes@ethernut.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ethernut/branches/devnut_uwe_cm3integration
devnut_uwe_cm3integration

The newly created devnut_uwe_cm3integration directory now contains the
newly created branch working copy.

No problem. 

Btw: I also planned to give it a try and to create an own trunk
integration branch at weekend.

First you should only work on the devnut_uwe_cm3integration branch which
is then a fresh copy of trunk. There you will merge file by file from
devnut_m3n and resolve conflict by conflict.

Do a checkin if everything got cleanly resolved. Always try to correctly
decide which changes are of interest. Only merge changes from devnut_m3n
to trunk if these are really part of the cortex development or related
changes (e.g. phy driver, changes on the rtc api) etc. If there are
questions on single files / changes, don't hesitate to ask.

If this is all ok, we will need to review it. Then we can merge
everything back into trunk.



But as mentioned before I will also try a merge, latest at the weekend.
We could either compare our results before merging back to trunk or you
just wait a few days until I'm ready if you are unsure how to proceed.

Bye,

Ole
