RE: Merge problem after changing directory tree structure

Given the following, how do I merge directory 'new' on branch1 into a
working copy of $REPOS/project/b/trunk? Notice that *after* I created
branch1, I renamed ancestor directory 'a' to 'b'.

svnadmin create /home/svn/test REPOS=https://localhost/subversion/test
mkdir project
mkdir -p project/a/trunk
mkdir -p project/a/branches
svn import -m 1 $REPOS
svn copy -m 2 $REPOS/project/a/trunk $REPOS/project/a/branches/branch1
svn mkdir -m 3 $REPOS/project/a/branches/branch1/new
svn rename -m 4 $REPOS/project/a $REPOS/project/b
svn co $REPOS/project/b/trunk work
cd work
svn merge -r 3:HEAD $REPOS/project/b/branches/branch1
Output:
svn: REPORT request failed on '/subversion/test/!svn/vcc/default'
svn:
Invalid editor anchoring; at least one of the input paths is not a
directory and there was no source entry

Sure: don't compare repository roots. Compare subtrees instead.

In your case, assuming you have a working copy of /b/trunk in local
directory "wc", you'd run

     svn merge -r2:3 schema://.../a/branches/branch1 wc
