If you do this, please consider adding a new capability that can be

I hope I don't ever get bitten by this bug. But if I do, I'll want to
make absolutely sure that all my users have a SVN client that
understands the new mergeinfo format.
Kind regards,

It is not a new format. It is making the code more tolerant of, and
fix, an invalid format. Which in theory can only be created by
manually mucking with the property value.
