Firstly, I am trying to reintegrate a branch with the trunk (using TortoiseSVN) but I am getting the error message "Querying merge info requires version 3 of the FSFS filesystem schema; filesystem E:/MyRepository/ uses only version 2".
Was it really not possible to reintegrate branches in earlier versions of subversion? Or is there another way of doing this?
Anyway, how can I upgrade the file system from version 2 to version 3?

You didn't specify the version of Subversion that your server is running. But based on the message you provided in the question, it's probably a 1.4.x version or older. I don't remember if there was an upgrade command provided or not for conversion from 1.4.x to 1.5.x, but the sure file way to get your repository from version 2 to version is to a dump and load. But that doesn't matter much, you'll want to install 1.6.x anyway to go with the latest. So, here are the steps you need to do:
See also Subversion FAQ http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#dumpload for a concrete example.
That should get you taken care of and the uuid file will keep your clients from freaking out. Do an svn update to be sure though.
