The merge command merges the changes that were made *starting with*
one revision to get to another revision.
In you example above, what changes were made to get from r100 to
r101? In your case it would be ok to skip the commit to trunk, but
you are also skipping that the next commit after it. It probably
isn't worth the effort to try to skip commits that happen on an
unrelated branch, since they won't be included in the branch you are
merging anyway.
