You should be able to track down the problem with the information we
have supplied. The bottom line is that SVN 'remembers' what has been
merged using properties, 'svn:mergeinfo'. The value of this property is
a path in the repository and a list of revisions already merged from the
listed path to the current path. Here's an example I made up (so it may
not be 100% correct but should be close enough for you to figure out
what you're looking at.)
svn:mergeinfo '/branches/featurea:100,105-107'
Say this is the property a trunk working copy. This tells you that
Subversion has merged revisions 100, 105, 106, and 107 from the featurea
branch to the trunk.
You need to look at the svn:mergeinfo stored in your working copy and
match that with the files, folders and revisions you are having problems
with and make sure that the svn:mergeinfo includes information about
those revisions. My guess is that this information is missing. If it is
not then I don't know what the problem is.
Also, I would expect this property to appear only in the root of your
project directory structure. I am sure there are reasons to do it
otherwise but I would not expect that in general. In other words you
should know what you are doing in that case.
