Thanks for your explanation. Looking back, it's hard to understand why I
did not see the solution after I have found out that it occurs only if
the file checked into the branch already had uncommited changes.

As you write, this happens to you as well from time to time. When I
think about it, it seems to me that it should be safe to always use
branch-creation-1 when merging back to trunk. It this true? If this is
the case, I think it would be a good idea to use branch-creation-1 as
well (may be with a short explanation) in the example "Merging a Whole
Branch to Another" in the Subversion book.
