Conflicts cherrypicking lots of revisions

I don't understand some conflicts while cherrypicking revisions using
TortoiseSVN.

I'm merging from a development branch to a release branch. Conflicts
here should be very rare, since I'm applying sequential revisions and
all the modifications of the release branch come from the development
branch.

I use a filter in the log dialog of the branch and select lots and
lots of revisions. A few of them have already been merged. If I try to
merge, a lot of conflicts appear. But if I merge till the revision
before where the conflict happened, and then merge the problematic
revision, I get no conflicts!

Would someone explain me why? Is it a bug or a limitation?

To merge all my revisions I have to select some revisions, test the
merge, see where the first conflict happens, merge till the revision
before the conflict, rinse and repeat. It's a tedious and error prone
process. Right now I'm coding a script to do it.

Kind regards and thanks for this wonderful piece of software,
Paulo Eduardo Neves
