This issue is specifically for merging in branches, not files. Using
the example in the TortoiseSVN documentation:
Rev Comments
39. Working on MyBranch
38. Working on trunk
37. Working on MyBranch
36. Create branch MyBranch
35. Working on trunk
34. Working on trunk
...
Given that I want to merge MyBranch to the trunk. So, as the
documentation indicates, I highlight revisions 36 through 39 in the Log
dialog. When it returns to the Merge dialog, the From field displays
35. If I do not correct this to 36 and follow through with the merge,
TortoiseSVN will report "Error: file not found" because revision 35 has
no information about MyBranch.
Since it is possible for the Log dialog to identify revisions for a
created branch (i.e. it highlights the revision blue), it should be
possible for the Merge tool to determine that the selected From revision
is a branch creation revision and should NOT decrement the chosen
revision. Right?

Has this issue been fixed in 1.2.2?
