Merge - new files

When I create new source files on a branch, I can't get them to the
trunk. I add the file to the repository and commit them. Then I when I
merge the branch into the trunk, I always get the msg "Skipped Missing
Target" and the new files aren't added to the trunk. What else should I
be doing?

C# project files and source files. The client is the command line tool
and TortoiseSVN.

You should probably boil it down to a simple recipe to demonstrate.  That 
being said, I think the issue would be whether the merge command you run 
includes the revision when the files were added.  In other words, as long 
as the merge includes the add, it will add the file to the WC.  If your 
merge range only included revs where you changed the new files, then it 
would try to apply that change to the WC, not find the file, and issue 
that message.

A transcript would let us see the revision where you committed the add, as 
well as the merge command you specified.
