Ok, I think I understand now where the problem is. However, after double
checking the svn merge arguments in my real case it's still missing some
of the files. I will update svn and then I will try again and see what
happens.

The funny thing is that it adds new dirs but if the new dirs have new
files inside added on the same revision then svn refuses to add the files.

Thanks anyway, note to self: you never read the guide enought!
