There is no svn:mergeinfo property in *any* of the folders in question,
or, for that matter, anywhere in the entire repository.

I *did* have svn:mergeinfo in my branch (/branches/rick) during the
1.5.0 beta, way back before this problem started, and when you used to
be able to do merge tracking without upgrading your server, but since
then I deleted it.

/branches/rick has also been deleted and replaced with a fresh copy of
the trunk since then. Actually, it was deleted and replaced *today*,
right after I upgraded to 1.5.1.

I noticed that there wasn't any mergeinfo in /branches/rick after doing
that, but I wasn't sure if there was supposed to be.

No svn:mergeinfo props. If there's anything else you'd like to know,
I'd be happy to oblige.

You have a point. The message is on the server-end, and I'm not so keep
on running experimental builds on our server, so I used Wireshark to see
what path my client was sending to the server. Sure enough, this is
what the dest-path tag read:

http://redacted.example.com/svn/Hegemony/src

And sure enough, that path doesn't exist.
