Yes, that could be true, I don't know what was done before I joined
the project.

I used right-click - DIff and also Diff with Previous version.
Neither show any changes to the file. When I navigate to previous and
next Difference, it just goes to the top and bottom of the file.

Yes, Properties show as modified, text shows as normal on the modified
files that do not show any diff
I cannot believe I neglected to tell you the most important info! I
should have given you a history of what we haved done to our SVN: I
apologize, I thought I had explained this better!
1. We never used branches until recently. Then we needed to create a
feature branch – branches/2.1 which was an exact copy of /trunk at
that time.
2. We did not commit any further changes to /trunk – we only worked on
branches/2.1
3. When the feature - branches/2.1 was completed, we merged it to /
trunk using Merge Reintegrate
4. Then we renamed branches/2.1 to branches/3.0
5. When we released the latest version, branches/3.0 was renamed to /
tags/Release 3.0
6. As we started work on verison 3.1, we created a new branches/3.1
which was an exact copy of /trunk
7. Next, we decided to add some new apps to SVN. Those were initally
added separately from /trunk
8. However, we decided we wanted everything in /trunk and so we
restructured /trunk to include new subfolders for the new apps. We
also moved the existing files from /trunk to a subfolder /skin I
believe this was done using Repo Browser.
9. Branches/3.1 was still using the old structure and Test Merges
resulted in "skipped missing target" errors. So we restructured
branches/3.1 to match the new /trunk structure.
10. Then I tried to merge a range of revisions from branches/3.1 to
trunk/skin and that resulted in all versioned files showing as
modified (Properties, text is normal except for those that have
actually changed)
When I look at merge properties for the files in trunk/skin that show
as modified in my last merge (not yet committed to repository) they
show:
“s v n : m e r g e i n f o T /branches/2.1/common.dialog.xml:402-635/
branches/3.1/skin/common.dialog.xml:707-730”
Of course, /branches/2.1 no longer exists - could that be our
problem? Since every file now has it in the mergeinfo properties. If
so, how do we correct this now?

Yes, that thread looks very similar to our problem. But I don't really
understand the answer :). How do we "run svn up before you merge". And
how do I have my "working copy at a single revision, and perhaps even
at HEAD"? And how do I "check your working copy for subtree
mergeinfo" How do I get all my mergeinfo at the tree root as
recommended in that post?

I did try to find these in the Help file, but perhaps the terminology
is different? I am happy to research and learn if you can just point
me in the right direction.
