For avoidance of doubt -- did you use examine changes in status/Jamfile.v2 and
made sure that only uuid changes are gonna be committed?

The correct way, I think, is:
svn copy https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/uuid
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/release/boost/
svn copy https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/uuid
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/release/libs
I recommend you do those commands on the command line, I have no idea how GUI clients
might work.
(It would be possible to first merge, on the top level, the revision where uuid was
added to trunk, and then merge boost/uuid and libs/uuid separately. But, there's no
particular reason to do so. The commands above should initialize mergeinfo just fine).
