The --dry-run merge shows that it would create a directory src. If I
remove --dry-run it does create the directory. No errors.

So your output starts

A triplea\src\games\strategy\engine\framework\startup\ui\editors

While mine starts

A wc/src
A wc/src/games
A wc/src/games/strategy
A wc/src/games/strategy/engine
A wc/src/games/strategy/engine/framework
A wc/src/games/strategy/engine/framework/startup
A wc/src/games/strategy/engine/framework/startup/ui
A wc/src/games/strategy/engine/framework/startup/ui/editors

From which I deduce that the checkout/patch instructions were wrong. I
need to apply the patch to:
https://triplea.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/triplea/trunk/triplea
not:
https://triplea.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/triplea/trunk

Now I can reproduce the error.
