RE: Merging a second-order branch

I did the merge as described from the command-line. I'm going to assume for now that TortoiseSVN doesn't support this type of merge operation. A couple more questions:

- I was surprised to see some files were skipped. Was this because of a configuration somewhere, or because svn merge decided? Something to do with dot-files?
Skipped '.classpath'
Skipped '.project'

- In the trunk, there was a "bin" directory under version control, which I svn deleted in my branch. Shouldn't the merge have deleted the directory, or at least the hidden .svn dir? I have another branch where I am doing some major re-organizing of directories and file moving. Should I be anticipating problems like this when I merge back to the trunk?

>svn --version
svn, version 1.0.0

In the commandline client world, you would simply cd into your trunk
working copy, and run

   svn merge privatebranchURL@81 taskbranchURL@HEAD

Remember that merge compares two trees, and applies the diff to your
working copy. In your situation, these are the two trees to compare.
