Re: cannot recover from "Secure connection truncated"

[Problem initially described in the mail to which this is a reply,
 dated 2006-05-04 10:56-04, available at
 http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=48660]

On the theory that it might be a timing issue with the connection or
something like that, I tried merging one step at a time. I.e., rather
than
   svn merge -r 1436:HEAD branch-path/ trunk-path/
I tried
   svn merge -r 1436:1440 branch-path/ trunk-path/
   svn merge -r 1440:1441 branch-path/ trunk-path/
   svn merge -r 1441:1442 branch-path/ trunk-path/
etc., choosing only those ranges for which svn log showed changes to
my branch. The same problem occurred during 1443:1444, albeit at a
different spot than I saw with 1436:HEAD. The error message (as
always) is
| svn: REPORT request failed on '/svnroot/tei/!svn/vcc/default'
| svn: REPORT of '/svnroot/tei/!svn/vcc/default':
| Could not read response body:
| Secure connection truncated (https://svn.sourceforge.net)

So it seems like there is no way to merge my branch back into the
trunk. The changes on my branch have been very extensive,
re-organizing the directory structure, etc. Luckily, however, the
changes against the trunk in the meantime have been pretty minor. I
have been able to create a working copy of my branch with the changes
that have occurred in the trunk merged into it, using
   svn merge trunk-path/@1436 trunk-path/@HEAD branch-path/

So what I have now is a local WC of the branch which has the state of
play I want to have in the trunk. Would something like the following
be a reasonable course of action?
   svn commit branch-path/
   svn move https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/path-to-trunk/
            https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/path-to-backup/
   svn move https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/path-to-branch/
            https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/path-to-trunk/
Feels kinda risky. Is there some way I can do this client-side? I.e.,
tell subversion to commit my WC branch-path/ into the server's
path-to-trunk/? (Or does that sound even more risky?)

I really like subversion quite a bit, and use it for my personal
stuff via a server at my home all the time. (I can't seem to get the
permissions and stuff set so that it can be served the way I want via
https, but that's assuredly user error.) I would be distressed to
find that this merge cannot be done, and thus to be forced to repeat
the work on the trunk itself, but that's what I'm probably going to
do on Thu if I can't figure this out. Sigh.
