Merge not merging

[Mike Meyer <mm...@lexmark.com>]

Merge doesn't seem to be doing what I expect with 1.5.2 on both server and 
client. See the following annotated script:

corolla% svn diff -c 7117                        # Verify we have changes 
in the changeset
Index: lxkbb

Am I expecting the wrong thing? I thought I was merging the changes from 
7117 back into this workspace, and when that didn't do anything, merging 
those changes out of the workspace. Visual inspection shows me that the 
changes aren't in the workspace, so when nothing happened, I was a bit 
surprised. However, when the second merge said it changed lxkbb but then 
didn't actually do anything - that sort of startled me.

Shouldn't at least one of those two merges - starting with the same file - 
either actually do something or complain about conflicts?

Any clues as to what migh cause this behavior?

        Thanks
