mergeinfo - SVN: Branch and reintegrate is not working with updated server

Question

I am working with a Subversion server that was recently upgraded to version 1.7. I am using the command-line Linux client 1.7.10.

I created a branch like this:

%: svn copy svn+ssh://acme.com/a/b/c/trunk svn+ssh://acme.com/a/b/c/branches/ovm_sequencer -m "Feature branch for ovm_sequencer"

After a couple of edits, I tried to reintegrate into the trunk and only ran into problems:

%: svn merge --reintegrate '^/c/branches/ovm_sequencer'
svn: E160013: File not found: revision 1677, path '/c/branches/ovm_sequencer'

%: svn merge --reintegrate svn+ssh://acme.com/a/b/c/branches/ovm_sequencer
svn: E200007: Retrieval of mergeinfo unsupported by 'svn+ssh://acme.com/a/b/c/branches/ovm_sequencer'

What has gone wrong and how can it be fixed?

If you are on IntelliJ 13.1 (Build #IU-135.475) and having this problem and your server is not 1.7x yet simply go to your Subversion preferences, presentation tab, un-tick 'Show merge source in history and annotations'.
