I am able to reproduce the problem with a 1.5.x client
(^/branches/1.5.x/@38201) by using the recipe at
<http://groups.google.com/group/google-code-hosting/browse_thread/thread/47ef0b9691e2af8e>.

I confirm the following:

$ svn co -r 2575 http://qubit-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/dcb
$ cd dcb
$ svn merge http://qubit-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
svn: Unable to parse reversed revision range '1427-1426'
]]]

I have written the attached test script to try to mimic this series of
events but I have missed something because the test script doesn't fail.
