Thanks. I was in fact following the vendor drop section of the book,
including the second copy (which seemed like it should be a merge to me,
too.) http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/ch07s04.html

The commands are nearly verbatim, except that I'm trying to 'merge' my
vendor drop into the root directory of the trunk, not a subdirectory:

/home/myuser/software/acme/index.html README.TXT (...)

instead of

/home/myuser/software/acme/0.5/index.html README.TXT (...)

Is there any way I can do that?
