SVN Merging For Version 1.4-

Merging for svn 1.4- is a bit different than for newer versions.  
This is what I have found that works for merging a trunk to a branch:
svn merge \
  svn+ssh://svn.example.com/repo/myproject/branches/newbranch@HEAD \
  svn+ssh://svn.example.com/repo/myproject/trunk@HEAD \
  /sites/myproject/src/myproject-workingcopy


*NOTE: seems weird that the trunk is the argument after the branch, but my trunk changes weren't being merged in when I did it the other way.

It seems that with svn version pre 1.4, you must specify the version where your branch was last copied or merged from.  If your branch was created at version 234, then the following command would merge it. 
svn merge --dry-run \
  svn+ssh://svn.example.com/export/myproject/branches/newbranchh@234 \
  svn+ssh://svn.example.com/export/myproject/trunk/@HEAD .

svn+ssh on alternate port

Setup the config
# Add the following lines to ~/.subversion/config
# must be put in the [tunnels] section of the config file
sshnew=ssh -l user -p 2222

Execute the svn:
svn co svn+sshnew://servername.com/path/to/repository/

Subversion

Setting up a repository:
svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/newrepos

Import files into repository:
svn import /import/dir file:///usr/local/svn/newrepos/projectname -m "comment"

List files in a repository tree:
svn list file:///usr/local/svn/newrepos/projectname
svn ls #while in sandbox
svn ls -v # verbose

Checkout a directory:
svn checkout "http://host:port/path"
svn co http://host:port/path
svn checkout file:///path/to/repos
svn checkout file:///localhost/path/to/repos
svn checkout svn+ssh://host/path/to/repos

Check a specific revision:
svn checkout -r revision_num
svn checkout -r {2006-02-17}
svn checkout -r {"2006-02-17 15:30"}

Checkin a file:
svn commit filename.txt -m "some comment here"

Update working copy with committed changes from other users:
svn update

Manage local copy (sandbox):
svn add filename
svn delete filename
svn move file1 file2
svn copy file1 file2
svn mkdir dirname

View files changed since last commit:
svn stat
svn stat filename
svn status -v # verbose view of all files in sandbox
svn status -v -u # contacts the repository to show more info

View changes since last commit:
svn diff # show diffs within files

Revert a file (working copy):
svn revert file

Restore a previously committed file back to working copy:

svn merge -r curr_version:prev_version working_file.txt

Show revision history:
svn log
svn log -r 5:19 # shows revisions 5 through 19
svn log -r 9 # shows revision 9
svn log filename # show revisions on a given file
svn log -r {2006-11-20}:{2006-11-22} # show versions between two dates
svn log --verbose # show all files in all revisions
svn log --verbose | grep "/path/to/file/" -B10 # grep history and show last 10 lines

Show file info:
svn info filename

Backup a repository:
svnadmin dump /path/to/repository > dumpfile

Restore a repository:
svnadmin load /path/to/repository/ < dumpfile.dump

Export a repository without all the metadata:
svn export file:///path/to/repository export_dir

Ignore files in the svn working copy:
create a file in home directory called .svnignore 
While in working copy, run command
svn -R propset svn:ignore -F /path/to/home/.svnignore .
