We have a branch split from trunk at rev. 55921. At the moment when
I've tried to use svnmerge there already were several commits both in
the branch and in the trunk.

I've switched to the branch:
svn switch svn://xxx/branches/release_2006_11/java

Then tried to init:
kos at kos ~/work/sw2/java $ svnmerge.py init
svnmerge: no copyfrom info available. Explicit head argument
(-S/--head) required.

This was confusing because 'svnmerge.py help init' doesn't mention
-S/--head switch. However the following command was successfull:

kos at kos ~/work/sw2/java $ svnmerge.py init svn://xxx/trunk/java  -r 0-55921
property 'svnmerge-integrated' set on '.'

Which I assume means to ignore 0-55921 revisions.
The rest you have seen in my original post.
I feel that I did something wrong, but I don't understand what was it..

Thanks.
