Bert, There were two issues that I ran into. One was as you listed, the --force command, which caused the access violation. The other was -x -w, which caused new files to not be merged to the target branch (although -x -b seems to work fine).
Thanks for your response.

There is a fix for incoming directory deletions during merge scheduled for the next 1.8 release. With 1.8 using --force shouldn't be necessary anyway as the old tree conflict detection problems were resolved by 1.8.0. (--force made older versions strict ignore what was deleted when applying deletes) Bert From: scott.stei...@tdameritrade.com<mailto:scott.stei...@tdameritrade.com> [mailto:scott.stei...@tdameritrade.com] Sent: woensdag 16 april 2014 23:16 To: users@subversion.apache.org<mailto:users@subversion.apache.org> Subject: Access violation Trying to dry-run test merging a branch URL to a working copy of another branch.
