The good news is that I was able to do a merge that produced output similar to yours.

The bad news is that you are probably merging unrelated branches... What branch is your workspace set to? (svn info) And what is the common ancestor between /root/Trunk and the workspace branch? You can try 'svn merge --ignore-ancestry', but I don't think it will make a difference since your branches are probably very unrelated.

In other words, 'svn merge' should have produced some output. The fact that it didn't implies that there was no merging to be done. I have no idea why 'svn mergeinfo --show-rev eligible' would still list revs.
