You have to merge the revisions r280 to r324 from trunk into your branch first.
I stopped getting these problems when I started using the -r option to svn merge command and did not attempt to do the --reintegrate until after I had merged without it. I'm using svn 1.6.1.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
