I got a subversion exception as I tried to merge. I updated to the latest TortoiseSVN and got the same error.
I did Merge, Merge a range of revisions, Show log and got the exception below. I don't know what version the server is on, is there an easy way to tell? (I have no control over the server.) The problem is very repeatable. It may be related to the fact that when I do Merge, Merge a range of revisions and type in my revisions (27543-27877), Next and then Test merge on Working copy, I get another error Command: Merging revisions 27542-27877 of /firmware/trunk into F:\ABC\firmware_GH, respecting ancestry, Test Only Error: 'C:\Users\elecia\AppData\Local\Temp' is not a working copy Completed!: My working copy has no modification. I ran a clean up and got the same response. Note, I'm running Win7. The TortoiseSVN version and exception are below. Please let me know how to get around this and if I can provide further information.
