Hi Andrew, I think it's a problem in the 1.8 client. I tested doing the merge with the same branch using a 1.6 SVN client for the checkout and the merge and it did not encounter any issues or complain about missing revisions. This leads me to believe that it is a bug and not just a presentation issue. It is preventing the merge from working in the way described in the manual and we have both encountered the same issue so I think I will raise this issue in the bug tracker. I checked to see is there anything in there already but I could not find anything relevant.
