Thanks Stefan, I found the problem, it was me. First off I am the only developer here, so I suspected I did something. I also try to leave meaningful comments which helped out in this case. After reading the comments produced by the log command I remember seeing some files that subversion 'forgot' to add. I do not know why it decided not to add them but now I remember adding them and feeling déjà-vu. I presumed it was just too much whiskey on the holiday weekend. Add to that the fact I have had other problems with subversion I guessed incorrectly that something was wrong. But with the log command I see a record of me adding the files with a comment and doing the same thing a week later with a different but similar comment. So I believe the messages from the merge command are accurate. And since I made the branch from a trunk missing files the branch naturally was missing the same files.
Not sure why they never got added in the first place, but thanks for your help. I think I will punish the perpetrator and send them home early! -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Sperling [mailto:s...@elego.de] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 2:09 PM To: John Maher Cc: Subversion help Subject: Re: Merge problem On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 11:56:22AM +0000, John Maher wrote: > Thanks for your reply Stefan.

So you're merging from the branch into the trunk, right? Perhaps the merge is merging changes which have been previously merged into the trunk but not recorded as merged in mergeinfo? E.g. if a revsision between r222 and r235 added the file RotairAO_SupplierManufacturer\SupplierManufacturerTranslate.vb on your branch, and the trunk already merged that revision from your branch -- but mergeinfo claims this was not the case -- then I would expect the conflict you are seeing. The question is then, how come the change was merged but not recorded? Did the person doing the merge forget to commit the svn:mergeinfo property changes, perhaps? Another possiblity is that the same file was added on the trunk independently, i.e. not via a merge operation, but for some other reason. Can you trace back the history of this file both on your branch and the trunk with 'svn log' to see how they came into existence? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Stefan Sperling [mailto:s...@elego.de] > Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2014 4:24 AM > To: John Maher > Cc: Subversion help > Subject: Re: Merge problem > > On Tue, Sep 09, 2014 at 06:48:31PM +0000, John Maher wrote: > > Hello > > > > Just wondering if anyone may have an idea how my repository got so buggered > > up.
