The Issue

Note

The version restriction below is now/can be solved for all Deltares repositories. Each repository owner should send a request to the ICT department for an upgrades. Almost all issues below will then be solved.

I have asked the ICT helpdesk to upgrade the server to the latest version: http://topdesk.directory.intra/tas/public/contained/incidentpublic?unid=b8b8add4c57b40dbaa2d65e4f9171aa8

What still works (trunk to branch)

Making your branch up-to-date by merging the trunk into the branch works fine. You choose to 'Merge a specific range of revisions' and you select the 'specific range' that is not yet included in the branch.

The Solution (branch to trunk)

Use the old merge option. To merge your branch back into the trunk use the old option 'Merge two different trees'.
Then set the following options in TortoiseSVN:

No Format

From: 
URL: the trunk
Revision: The last revision that was merged into your branch. This can be the HEAD revision if your branch is completely up-to-date.

To:
URL: the branch you want to merge into the trunk
Head Revision
