How did you try to do this merge? When merging changes from a branch
to trunk you don't want to merge what has changed from the HEAD of
trunk to the HEAD of your branch. You want to merge the changes made
from the start of your branch to the HEAD of it to trunk. I found this
best explain in the subversion book.
