Does SVN support merging into sparse checkouts?

Question

I'm trying to merge a branch into a sparse checkout (all the files I touched in the branch are included in the checkout) and I'm getting the following error:

Cannot reintegrate into a working copy not entirely at infinite depth

Does this mean what I think it means? That you have to have a fully recursive checkout in order to merge into?

Answer 1

Merging into a full checkout worked, this is anecdotal evidence that you cannot merge into a sparse checkout.
