merging when target has moved files

Hello,

I have a repository with a single project. This project has a trunk and
a single branch named B01. The branch was made at revision 32. Since the
branch was made some modifications have been made to a file named F
on trunk. Also, in the branch, the file named F was svn moved to NF.

In the past I haven't had to deal with moved files. The files in the
branch had the same names as on the trunk. In the past when I have
wanted to merge the trunk with the branch I would do something like this
(using the above example):

cd B01_working_copy/
svn merge -r 32:HEAD http://site.com/svn/project1/trunk

and everything worked as expected.

But now, with the moved files, the changes to F in the trunk are not
merged with NF in the branch. Instead, a file named F is created in the
branch and NF is unchanged. I would expect/hope that F would be merged
with NF.

I have a transcript of what I'm talking about, but it is rather lengthy
and I was hoping someone would look at the above example and would
instantly know what I was doing wrong.

I should point out that I was reading the subversion book, specifically,
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch04s04.html#svn-ch-4-sect-4.1 when I
came across this problem.

Thanks.

I am using svn v1.1.4.
