I think I see a problem and am guessing that this is self-inflicted...
the changes in trunk that resulted from the branch merge are all
numbered at 139 which clearly shouldn't be since they were all done
between revision 52 and 138
I am thinking that if possible, I need to revert the 'trunk' back to
revision 49 and then merge 52:138 again.
Is this possible?
