I've run into this problem before. What is needed to correct it
is to svn delete winebuild on the branch and svn copy it again
from trunk to the branch. It happens because we've replaced
winebuild in trunk after the branch was created so the two
objects have no common history.

I'd recommend the order:

1) svn delete winebuild on branch
2) svn copy winebuild from trunk to branch
3) Create a working copy of the branch
4) Move the winebuild directory in the working copy out of the working copy
5) Merge changes on trunk to working copy
6) Move the winebuild directory into the working copy again
7) Fix possible merge conflicts, test and commit
