Thanks for posting this, as it helped us pinpoint our related problem. To help people with their detective work on similar issues:

svn: MERGE request failed on ‘/svn/repository/trunk’
svn: MERGE of ‘/svn/repository/trunk’: 200 OK (http://svn.myserver.com)

Notice the second line: 200 OK. That means that the actual commit went through ok, which led us to believe our issue had to do with our post-commit hook. We are not using trac’s post-commit hooks, but instead our own, which had an issue with wget. So if you get that error, I would suggest you run svnserve and try to checkout/commit via that, because it will give you a better error message to diagnose the issue.

Thanks dude. I had the same error and I had no clue on how to fix it.

Thanks again
