Help with merging please

I am a svn newbie, but did lots of merging/collapsing in clearcase and cvs. I am trying to collapse a dev branch back into the parent using the --reintegrate option to merge.  I have a brand new sandbox in which I also ran svn update.
I then ran the merge --reintegrate command and I get "Cannot reintegrate into a working copy not entirely at infinite depth".  Can someone advise me about what this means and how to get this merge to work please?

Update your working copy so that it isn't a sparse checkout..

svn up --set-depth infinity
