See also issue SVN-4414 "dump/load with invalid mergeinfo". A spurious mention of r0 in mergeinfo is a special and easily correctable case of the general issue of invalid mergeinfo.

> 'svnsync' errors out on trying to sync a revision that adds or changes a
> mergeinfo property containing a reference to revision number 0.
> Such mergeinfo is now considered invalid, and cannot be committed with recent
> servers, but can be committed through a server older than 1.6.18 for HTTP or
> older than 1.6.17 for the other protocols. See issue #3895 "repos layer does not
> verify mergeinfo syntax".
> In addition, 'svnadmin dump' errors out when it tries to dump such a property,
> iff any non-zero start revision is specified for the dump.
> I have confirmed this, testing by hand, using Subversion v1.7.16 and v1.8.8.
