Update a merged but not committed svn branch

Question

I have a svn branch, say feature, created from trunk. I am ready to merge my feature branch into trunk, so I did this:

cd trunk/
svn merge <path/to/feature/branch>

After doing this, I am not ready to commit/push the changes to trunk yet. BUT I want to keep this "merged-but-not-committed" trunk working copy updated.

So will doing the following cause any issues:

cd trunk/
svn update

This should answer your query https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn-book.html#svn.basic.in-action.track-repos

There are two scenarios

1. Locally Changed and is current (This seems to be your case) - In this scenario your local changes will not go away.
2. Locally Changed and is out of date - In this scenario conflict may arise as the svn tries to merge the recent copy with your local changes. You will keep your copy regardless.
