svn-externals

What I am doing:

Apply external properties to a folder in the trunk (both single file and folder external, externals are binary files)
Create a branch from the trunk and update the entire project
Modify a file on the branch and commit the changes, then update the entire project.
Merge -> "Reintegrate a branch" when I get to the last screen I click "test merge" and get this error:

Error: Cannot reintegrate into mixed-revision working copy; try updating first

I update the entire project and still the same error.

Other observations:

If I "Merge a range of revisions" everything works fine.
If I remove the externals everything works fine using either "Merge a range of revisions" or "Reintegrate a branch".

How do I solve this issue?

I am using Subversion 1.6.6 with TortoiseSVN 1.6.6.
