Short story: This has been fixed already, but you're not using the
latest version.

Long story: This error used to be raised when you have svn:mergeinfo
properties on any files or folders in your branch, not including the
merge source (AKA "it").

Example: Reintegrating "http://server/svn/repo/branches/foo" into
"http://server/svn/repo/trunk".
/trunk has mergeinfo
/trunk/bar has mergeinfo
/branches/foo has mergeinfo ---> no error.
/branches/foo/bar svn:mergeinfo ---> error.

The reason there's an error is because the presence of svn:mergeinfo on
/branches/foo/bar means that it might have different mergeinfo than
/branches/foo, which would make it impossible for reintegrate to figure
out what to do.

In practice, 99% of the time the reason /foo/bar has mergeinfo is
because it was copied or renamed at some point, and it has the exact
same svn:mergeinfo property as /foo. The most recent version of
subversion is a lot smarter about looking at the actual values of
svn:mergeinfo properties during reintegrate, and so you likely won't see
the error anymore if you upgrade.
