thank you - this was exactly what I had to do - reverse merge the
changes and then merge them again and it worked.
I can't say what it was that was different from the first time I merged
and the second time except that the second time, I merged on my own
desktop system instead of a trunk checkout on the same machine that is
the svn server.
Merge looks good, committed changes, life is good again.
Thanks
Craig
