RE: Reintegrate a branch issue

Thank you. I believe I will downgrade my client. It's unfortunate that the newer versions don't have an option to work successfully with older server versions. What kind of advantages does merge tracking offer?

Yes indeed. In the worse case, we can still check out your branch at a
specific revision or date.

That's because you use a client version 1.5, don't you. As such, it
tries to use a feature called "merge tracking" which is not supported
by your server (supposely in version 1.4)
You can either upgrade the server to v1.5 or downgrade the client to
version 1.4
