'svn merge' does not give difference summaries, really It applies
changes to a working copy. But I guess you know that already.

(It just so happens, however, that some devs *are* working on a new
option to 'svn diff URL1 URL2' to print status codes, rather than
unified diffs. I can't wait for that.)

Is 'trunk' related to the two URLs? Do you get any output -before-
that error?

Um, can you be more specific? :-)
