RE: Branch Merging Issue

Yes, I found this to be the issue. I was getting used to simply using the Reintegrate Branch function. I had to get my hands a little dirty with the versions when I merged 1.2 back. Overall wasn't too complicated - just a little awkward for a newbie.

Not necessarily.

I suspect what you want to do is only to merge the changes in 1.2
*after* it was branched from 1.1 back into the trunk.

E.g. If you created branch 1.1 in revision 5, then created branch 1.2
from branch 1.1 in revision 10, you would only want to merge revisions
10-HEAD of branch 1.2 to the trunk.
