Real World Fix (See below for original email with details)
Three steps to accomplish the task, the first one shows you are in the right place, the second actually deletes all merge info and the final step reverts back the merge info for the root folder:
Use this to see if there is a problem:
svn propget -R svn:mergeinfo .
And then the following to fix it:
[~/tmp/trunk]$ svn status
[~/tmp/trunk]$ svn propdel svn:mergeinfo -R .
[~/tmp/trunk]$ svn revert .
Example:
svn pd svn:mergeinfo halwebsite/js/jquery/date.js
From subversion Wiki:
Reintegration Problem
At certain times, you get the following error, even though you have merged trunk changes to branch:
svn: Cannot reintegrate from 'https://some.server/branches/branch' yet:
Some revisions have been merged under it that have not been merged into the reintegration target; merge them first, then retry.
Older versions of subversion seem to cause mergeinfo problems with mergeinfo properties for individual files. This problem can be detected by recursively listing properties in the branch:
svn pl -R $SVN/branches/branch/|egrep -B 4 svn:mergeinfo
If individual files and subdirectories have mergeinfos, you can delete them:
svn pd -R svn:mergeinfo branch/subdirectory_with_mergeinfo/
and commit the changes.
