Hi Moshe,

This should work, if you have a completely clean working copy.

What I normally do is

svn revert -R .
svn status --no-ignore | xargs rm -fr
svn update

then

svnmerge.py merge

I do think svnmerge.py should refuse to merge into working copy  
containing any files, maybe besides its own commit message file.
Regards,
Blair
