subscribing

I'm having trouble subscribing. if there's a trick please let me know. I
sent mail to users-subscribe with just 'subscribe jlm_at_zeevee.com' in the
body.... no answer.

We use a lot of project branches, that is, we branch from trunk,
develop a feature and then merge it back to trunk. Quite often, we need
to merge a change or two from trunk out to our branch along the way.
What I have noticed is that when I go to merge the branch back to trunk,
the changes that were merged from trunk to the branch are included when
I do a 'svn mergeinfo --show-revs eligible <branchname> <trunk>'. Why is
this? Shouldn't the system know that these were merged out and therefore
do not need to be merged in? I do not ever use 'ignore-ancestry'.

I end up doing a lot of 'svn merge --record-only's to block the reverse
merges.

Please reply directly as I do not seem to be able to subscribe.

Thanks,
JLM
