?Thank you, we solved :-)

My scenario was:
 - left side of source: URL to "trunk", revision N
 - right side of source: URL to "trunk", revision M (where N < M)
 - merge target: a working copy of "branches/branch1"
But i didn't selected revision range N-M, so i suppose my old SVN Server 
included the revisions before the branch in which i moved the project root 
inside trunk and then branched:
revision N - 2:

- web
- ....
- build.xml

Revision N - 1:

trunk\web
....
trunk\build.xml

Here there is a delete of directories.

In revision N i branched...


Selecting manually a range N+1, M (HEAD) i got only conflicts on files....and i was able to fix them.
Maybe a recent version of SVN (with merge tracking) could automatically 
selecte the correct range of revisions ?
Thank you a lot!!!

?First of all, sorry for my english that is not my mother language.

Some times ago i did a branch in my project, i tryed to do a project folder:
- trunk
- branches
    - branch1
- tags

Later i had to develop disconnected from my SVN server so i checked out in my notebook ALL the project folder, because i don't know when i have to work on the trunk (for example, i'm developing the branch one and the customer call me to fix a bug in the trunk).
I had TortoiseSVN installed.

So i modified the trunk and the branch1 and then i committed all with TortoiseSVN at the project root level of directory. Doing so several times i had that in every revision i have files modified from trunk and from branch togheter.

The problem is when i try to merge revisons of trunk to the branch1, i got all "local tree conflicts" on every directory at the project main directory:
For example (for a Netbeans project):

- src
- web
- nbproject
- ...
- build.xml

So it is impossible to merge...

How are you trying to merge, exactly?

Merge (in general) needs the following arguments:
 - left side of source: A repository URL and a revision
 - right side of source: A repositry URL and a revision
 - merge target: a working copy path

Merge applies the difference between left and right to the target.
So when you merge from trunk branch, you'd use arguments like:

 - left side of source: URL to "trunk", revision N
 - right side of source: URL to "trunk", revision M (where N < M)
 - merge target: a working copy of "branches/branch1"

With merge tracking, Subversion is smart enough to automatically
fill in N and M for you.

In Tortoise, you would perform this merge by using the first merge
method in the merge dialog. In the next window, use an empty revision
range (so that N and M will be calculated automatically), and put the
URL of trunk as the merge source, and use the path to a working copy
of branches/branch1 as the target (this path can be a subdirectory
of an existing working copy).

Is this how you are trying to do the merge?

How can i resolve this ? It is due to my "cross-branch" revisions ? Because i don't think to have deleted or renamed files in the project.
The revisions that modify both trunk and branch should not be a
problem if you use the right URLs and the right target working copy
in the arguments to merge.
Merge always needs both a path and a revision because a revision alone
can be ambiguous (as it is in your situation).
