I think users is right; you aren't proposing patches.

If you have done anything on the trunk this is odd/wrong; to do a
reintegrate then all parent changes should have been merged to the
child. I can believe things are not ok if this is empty (as a corner
case bug).

This is odd; I have been doing reintegrate merges a lot and they've been
fine. But that's with real changes on the branch and also on the
parent.

You are saying missing, but not saying if you had done merge of the
trunk (without revision ranges) to the branch. If you let svn merge
what it wants there should not be missing ranges.

sounds like you need a bit more cm policy enforcement :-)

Your merge info looks like you are merging the wrong path. If you have
the right path, the output should be very small/compact, or at least svn
st should seem less.
You have a lot of subtree mergeinfo, probably from 1.5.x < 1.5.4
clients. This is almost certainly a mess and you should probably get
rid of mergeinfo at all points other than module roots.
