# CVS: Merge Changes from Branch Dialog Box

The Merge Changes from Branch dialog box enables you to merge files from a branch or the trunk to your local working directory.

Current Working Branch is your local working directory. This field contains Trunk if you are working in the trunk, or the name of a branch.

When merging files, select one of the following:

Element | Description
--- | ---
Merge from Trunk | Select this to merge changes that were made in the trunk to your working directory.
Merge from Branch | Select this to merge changes that were made in the specified branch to your working directory. When you choose this option, specify the name of the branch you want to merge into your local repository. You can enter the name of the branch in the text field or click Browse to open the Browse Tags dialog box and choose from the available branches.

You can set the following options when merging files to your local repository:

Element | Description
--- | ---
Merge Only Changes Made after Tag | When selected, only changes made after the specified tag are merged into your local repository. Enter the name of the tag in the text field or click Browse to open the Browse Tags dialog box and choose from the available tags. If unselected, all changes are merged into your local repository.
Tag Trunk After Merge | When selected, the trunk is tagged after merging to mark changes you have already merged. Enter the tag to attach after the merge, or click Browse to choose an existing tag. If unselected, no tag is attached to the source branch.
