I see this when using 1.8:
$ svn mergeinfo ^/subversion/branches/fsfs-format7
youngest common ancestor

It seems to imply that it does not think you have ever synched with
trunk. So maybe it is trying to replay every revision from your
branch when I merge back and that is why it gets so many conflicts?
