You will have to provide a more complete description here. (Perhaps

I don't use Windows, but I thought this worked. Please show the
command you typed and the error message it produced.

I suggest you use 'svn merge -rX:Y TRUNK_URL wc_path'. In principle,
running the command 'svn diff -rX:Y SOME_URL' will show you the
changes that merge will incorporate.

It doesn't matter, TRUNK_URL at revision 7 is the same as TRUNK_URL at
revision 8, try 'svn diff -r7:8 TRUNK_URL'.

svn merge -r9:12 TRUNK_URL wc_path
svn merge -r14:17 TRUNK_URL wc_path
svn commit wc_path
Perhaps with an 'svn commit' in between the two merges if you want to
record them separately.

svn merge -rX:Y OTHER_BRANCH_URL wc_path
svn commit wc_path
