That makes sense, except any changes that were made in trunk were
supposed to have been reverted. But even if I'm misunderstanding
something there, if I attempt to merge any revision earlier then
branch@185 to the trunk, it fails. 185 is when the /branch/omniorb was
actually created.

heka Python # svn merge -r 180:HEAD
http://localhost/svn/repos/branch/omniorb
svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/repos/!svn/vcc/default'
svn:
Invalid editor anchoring; at least one of the input paths is not a
directory and there was no source entry

So, at r180(did digging, this is the real revision that 'started' the
process, when the branch happened at r185) /branch/omniorb doesn't
exist, and I think that's why the error is happening.

I can manually commit these changes into the trunk if I need to if the
wacky edit/revert/branch/merge thing I did (in ignorance, I admit) has
made this too difficult.

Thanks for your assistance.
