SVN Merge fails with SVN_IS_VALID_REVNUM

Question

Having trouble merging a branch with the trunk.

The branch I am trying to merge is a copy of another branch, which branched from the original trunk several revisions ago. The google search for the variable returns very little. Is what I am trying to do even feasible?

[jeff@jeff prod2.3]# svn merge -r 4723:6643 http://svn.hello.com/svn/repos/trunk/

svn: In file 'subversion/libsvn_client/merge.c' line 2711: assertion failed (SVN_IS_VALID_REVNUM( revision_primary_url_deleted))

UPDATE: Solved the issue see answer below.

Is that right that you are trying to merge made in trunk between specified revisions into branch? Where are you running this command (svn info)? — pmod

Was able to solve the issue when I dug deeper into the SVN versions. Turns out the I had already done a previous merge at R5231 and that had something to do with the error. When I merged at that revision it worked fine. Luckily I had written down where that merge occurred because otherwise I would have never been able to find out without digging into commit messages.

svn merge -r 5231:6643 http://svn.hello.com/svn/repos/trunk/
