Svn 1.8.3 error: E200007

I have just today started using the svn merge command to update my private
branch from a remote repo trunk on Sourceforge.

In my branch work dir I execute:

$ svn merge ^/brlcad/trunk .

and the response is:

svn: E200007: Retrieval of mergeinfo unsupported by 'svn+ssh://
tbrowder2_at_svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/branches/attr-extension-mods'

I see some mail in the archives about the same error number but not the
exact same command.

I am using old (but legit) Debian apr and apr-util libraries but I am using
the latest serf embedded with the svn source (./get-deps.sh).

Note the "old" way does work:

$ svn merge ^/brlcad/trunk -r57266:HEAD

but keeping track of the revs is a real pain. Should I file a bug?

(I got the same error with ver 1.8.1.)

Best regards,

-Tom
