That's not surprising if their situation is like yours below. If you
blow away a working copy containing uncommitted changes and
unregistered files, you can't expect them to magically reappear when
you check out again.

To me it looks like the things that were skipped had were not under
svn control in the working copy you were trying to apply the merge
to. I suspect svn skips these by design.

It could help to study "Copying Changes Between Branches" in Chapter
4 of the SVN Book again. In fact, I think I'll go do that myself.
