Reading the message, it looks like the patch is still incomplete.
You have discussed replaced and absent entries, but the patch as is
just handles deleted ones. Is there an updated patch somewhere?
Also, I cannot reproduce the problem by running the commands
given. For me, the switch command prints nothing and exists with
status 0, for both 1.5 and trunk. A "real" runnable shell script
that reproduces the problem would be nice.

That is way over my head. No idea, sorry.

This message reminds me that Julian said that we should check how
sparse checkouts interact with tree conflicts.
I agree that, for now, the merge can behave as if the missing item
was deleted, which is currently standard practice for such cases
(also known as "punting" ;)
But in the future, we might want to raise a tree conflict there.
Trying to merge something into an absent subtree is a tree conflict.
But you don't need to concern yourselves with that right now.
We'll take care of it later on the tree-conflicts branch, when we get
to the point of dealing with sparse checkouts.
As for the mergeinfo question:
I'm not entirely sure either how to handle mergeinfo for directories
that are missing because of sparse checkouts, but I guess as far as
the mergeinfo is concerned, it makes no difference whether the missing
path is a file or whether it is a directory -- a path is a path, right?
In other words, I guess that doing whatever is currently done for absent
files is fine for absent directories, too.
Then again, I'm not a mergeinfo expert, so please get advice from
someone more competent in that area as well.

Oh dear :(
Get well soon!
