Lots of

I was on 1.6.4. I have since updated.

This is exactly what I did.
Under /zcode/trunk we have about 9 subdirectories. Different projects use different subsets of these directories. When I was re-integrating the changes made in some branches, I only checked out the directories that were included in those checkouts. I goggled depth=none subversion merge and I did not see any warnings about this. Perhaps I did not read enough.
At this moment, all branches have been re-integrated into trunk. Should I just remove all merge-info records across the board and start over using only fully populated work spaces? That will be a major pain in the rear since it will quadruple the space and time needed.
