I've seen this happen only once and eventually figured
out that I had a partial checkout underneath the merge point.
It was especially confusing in my case because I actually
had a complete checkout---nothing was missing---but
one of the directories was marked "depth=immediates"
so it was treated as a partial checkout.

If the svn:mergeinfo has asterisks in it, this is why.
