Hi Andrew Thanks for taking the time to respond. We did as told step by step and the result is the same - revision number is still in eligible list at the final step
[root@host newbranchWC]# svn mergeinfo --show-revs eligible https://some.url.com/svn/root/trunk r6554 r9946 [root@host newbranchWC]# svn propget svn:mergeinfo . /root/trunk:6560,9804,9806,9836,9874-9876,9880-9881,9899-9900,9951-9952 [root@host newbranchWC]# svn merge -c 6554 --record-only https://some.url.com/svn/root/trunk [root@host newbranchWC]# svn propget svn:mergeinfo . /root/trunk:6560,9804,9806,9836,9874-9876,9880-9881,9899-9900,9951-9952 [root@host newbranchWC]# svn mergeinfo --show-revs eligible https://some.url.com/svn/root/trunk r6554 r9946 We wonder if it has to do with the rev number change itself. That 6554 rev number is about /root/Trunk creation from svn mkdir The following rev number 6560 is about renaming /root/Trunk to /root/trunk Then the following rev number 9804 is about svn copy of dir A to https://some.url.com/svn/root/trunk/A Then the following rev number 9806 is about svn copy of dir B to https://some.url.com/svn/root/trunk/B Would such actions impact the very first rev number for folder https://some.url.com/svn/root/Trunk ?
