Okay, so the server runs svn as supplied in debian stable, which is 1.5.1.

I tried taking a dump of the repository and creating a copy locally from
the dump with the local svn version on my laptop, which is 1.6.0.

In this local copy, the merge works as expected.

*sigh*

So, what version of svn was this bug fixed in and where can I find out
more about it?

Also, what's the recommended way for me to get a newer version (where
this bug is fixed) on my debian server?

cheers,

Chris
