The --dry-run merge shows that it would create a directory src. If I remove --dry-run it does create the directory.

So your output starts A triplea\src\games\strategy\engine\framework\startup\ui\editors While mine starts A wc/src A wc/src/games A wc/src/games/strategy A wc/src/games/strategy/engine A wc/src/games/strategy/engine/framework A wc/src/games/strategy/engine/framework/startup A wc/src/games/strategy/engine/framework/startup/ui A wc/src/games/strategy/engine/framework/startup/ui/editors >From which I deduce that the checkout/patch instructions were wrong. I need to apply the patch to: https://triplea.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/triplea/trunk/triplea not: https://triplea.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/triplea/trunk Now I can reproduce the error. -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com
