Re: I need help understanding a problem with merges

No. Not particularly, why do you ask?

I did how ever finally find out what the problem was: SVN Merge is
extremely arcane about things. Catching up (trunk - to - branch)
apparently should be done FROM Trunk (last revision they were the
same) TO trunk (HEAD), and into the branch (WC).
