What "--depth" flag does the TSVN GUI value "working copy" correspond to?
I'm getting the above behavior with svn.exe if I run the command

svn merge -r15743:15745 http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/trunk

However, when I pass "--depth=infinity", the merge works correctly. So it
seems to me like the CLI merge is not respecting working copy depth.

With TSVN, the "working copy depth" is not doing what is says for merges
within sparse working copies. I'm not sure how this should be fixed. Could
TSVN analyze the target directory and pass the equivalent of
"--depth=infinity" to SVN libraries if the target is sparse?

See the CLI discussion thread at
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2009-03/0493.shtml for discussion about my
CLI efforts. There's also a reproduction recipe that is faster to run than
the above case.

Kari
