I also found that I ended up with a working copy with no mods when I
tried to merge "from" a branch head "to" the trunk head This was
because I misunderstood the dialog - in point (4) above, the words
"from" and "to" as used have a totally different meaning to the meaning
they have in the second sentence (of point 4). If you thought the merge
dialog was talking about the same thing have another read of the docs.
The TSVN manuals describe this quite well but I think most people should
that page twice.
