I haven't seen any follow-up on the post above. I'm busy evaluating
1.5.0 (on Linux in my case), and I've been bitten by the same
problem/bug apparently.

Summary of what I did:

- upload "version 1" of project to trunk.
- create branch "B" from trunk/LATEST.
- upload "version 2" of project to branch "B"
   (version 2 of project implied a rename [svn mv] on one file, plus
several additions)
- merge (rebase) from trunk into branch "B" (no content change, only
property change on root dir). Commit.
- try to "merge --reintegrate" branch "B" into trunk. Fails with the
following message:

---------------------------<cut>---------------------------
taranis:~/wc/trunk$ svn merge --reintegrate
http://taranis/repos/sysadmin/killses/branches/DEV-0001
svn: Cannot reintegrate from
'http://taranis/repos/sysadmin/killses/branches/DEV-0001' yet:
Some revisions have been merged under it that have not been merged
into the reintegration target; merge them first, then retry.
---------------------------<cut>---------------------------

Is there a workaround ? Is this something that will get fixed in the
upcoming 1.5.1 ?

TIA

Cheers. Bye.

Ph. A.
