Getting merge to ignore a directory in source and destination branch for a merge (tree conflict)

I've deleted (svn rm) a directory 'foo/bar' in trunk and branch and
committed, then tried to do a merge from trunk to branch.

The merge fails though:

               svn: Attempt to add tree conflict that already exists
at 'foo/bar'
               svn: Error reading spooled REPORT request response`

I would have hoped that the merge would ignore this directory. This
is the 1.6.x-R38000 branch self-built yesterday afternoon.

Is there any way to simulate 'obliterate' more effectively.

Regards,

- Paul
