I know that. But when I choose that option, I see in the merge status window:
Tree conflict (Resolved): C:\Project_Files\WC\host
Added: C:\Project_Files\WC\host\lib\lib.sln
Added: C:\Project_Files\WC\host\lib\project\lib.vcxproj
etc.
But these files are not actually created. It looks like SOMEWHERE in
SVN it thought it was adding those files during the merge, but
actually those files did not get added.

Yeah I guess I learned my lesson there.

Actually I created "host" on my branch first, and my branch was not
ready to merge yet, nor is the unit test for my feature needed on
trunk until the branch merges.

Yes, I understand why the "tree conflict" happened. I was just hoping
SVN would be smarter about letting me grab the "lib" subdirectory
during the merge, since that directory does *not* exist on my branch.
I thought it WAS being smart about it since I saw the "added" lines in
the merge results, but I guess no such luck.

"ignore ancestry" did not change the results at all. The merge results
window shows the "lib" directory being added, but the directory does
not actually get added. "tree conflict" still appears as expected.
Same for "force merge".
I actually see the same results from the command-line as well, I'll
try on the SVN mailing list.
