This is the right list for now. At some point the svn-users mailing
list will be revived at which point things like this should be posted
there instead.

Please provide more information. What version of the client are you
using? If you can show the actual commands you typed and the error
messages they generated it would be much easier to help.

Also, if you can reproduce this with a sequence of steps on a new
repository it might also help with tracking this down.

e.g. do you get the problem if you do something like this:

c:
cd \temp
svnadmin create repo
svn mkdir -m "make trunk" file:///temp/repo/trunk
svn mkdir -m "make branches" file:///temp/repo/branches
svn cp -m "branch from trunk" file:///temp/repo/trunk file:///temp/repo/branches/branch1
svn co file:///temp/repo/branches/branch1 wc
echo "test" >wc/file1.txt
svn add wc/file1.txt
svn commit -m "add file1.txt on branch" wc
deltree /y wc
svn co file:///temp/repo/trunk wc
svn merge -r3:4 file:///temp/repo/branches/branch1 wc
svn commit -m "merge branch1 into trunk" wc

If that does not demonstrate the problem, what are you doing
differently?
