Weird merge error: "<file> has different repository root"

For weeks now, I've been using "merge" to pull over commits one at a
time from one repo to my working copy of a different repo, manually
fixing any conflicts, then committing.

  Just today, doing what's worked for all that time, one of the files
in a commit involving several files gave me an error of "<filaA> has
different repository root than <fileB>".

  well, yes, of *course* it does -- that's the whole point of my
pulling merges across from one repo to another. so why would that
error occur? doing a "--dry-run" of the merge doesn't complain about
that file -- it just shows that the file would be "A"dded.

  so what should i be looking for? subversion 1.4.3, sadly.
