That's the very URL I cited in the message above. I have included your instructions, added to them, and referenced the original in my wiki. And if you look at my use case, there is no failed commit, no opportunity for mixed revisions, and in most cases I am not out-of-date because when I do the "extra" svn update it doesn't actually say that anything was updated...but tells me the same revision it was already at from the svn update prior to the merge. For example:
Svn update -> rev. 1000
Svn merge from branch
Svn commit: failure
Svn update -> rev. 1000
Svn commit: succeed
I don't know what could more simply suggest that I really am doing everything right yet Svn is still not working without an inexplicable, extra update and sometimes an svn cleanup.
Again, I don't think TSVN is to blame here; I think it's more likely a bug in the Svn libraries.
