Raman, thank-you for your help. I have finally figured out what was 
going on. I should have picked it up in your previous mail. The issue is 
that svnmerge-integrated" is pointing at the original branch location 
and I need it to point at the trunk. If I had not been so slow on the 
uptake I would be done. I think that I have been able to fix the issue.

However, your assumption that the move would cause svnmerge to treat the 
branch as unitialized is not correct. It does in fact the cause the 
error I am seeing. I have attached a small Windows batch file that 
creates a repository in c:\temp and then does some check-ins, an 
svnmerge init and then svnmerge avail. The svnmerge avail causes that 
exact error I am seeing.

Thanks again for helping me figure out what was wrong.
