SVN version 1.8.10 (r1615264), in Fedora 20.
I got above error when I try to merge a trunk to branch before I apply my changes to the trunk from the branch. I was able to check out the branch, modify the code and commit back to server and update the branch to the latest reversion. The same is for the trunk. I actually have looked at the server, all files\folders belong to me. The followings are what I did: 1. create a branch called b1 in the branches directory from the trunk; 2. checkout to my dev machine and make some changes by adding a new file and a new folder; 3. chechin the changes and commit; 4. do merge, and was asked to update the branch; 5. done update branch and then do merge again from my branch working directory with the command: $svn merge svn://192.168.0.9/myRepos/myProject/trunk Then get above error. My project is a Java project. How to avoid this? Thanks,
