Please use Subversion and not Git to merge branches. You are free to use
Git behind the scenes if you wish to, but that must remain totally
transparent as far as the Apache repository is concerned.

In the present case we have no way of knowing which version of trunk has
been merged into the branch. Also, the svn:mergeinfo property hasn’t
been updated on the root directory, which will create trouble next time
we update the branch to the latest trunk. Subversion will try to merge
changes that have already been merged by Git and this will result into
a lot of conflicts.


Thanks,
Vincent

I am using the git-svn techniques prescribed by
