Looks good.

Could you clarify why this is removed?  I don't see it added elsewhere
in the patch.  Is it a functional change?  Or do the diff hunks form an
optical illusion here?

ISTR we had trouble in the past with some compilers not allowing these
non-constant initializers.  (Fix would be to unroll the initialization
into separate lines of code.)

I don't think it's necessary to change from the style used in the patch
if it works in practice.

OK.  I can't find reintegrate_merge_locked(), but overall it sounds like
an intentional side-effect of gutting the actual merge out of
svn_client_find_reintegrate_merge().  Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks for casting your eyes over it anyway.

Thanks.

Look at the following patch hunk, and ideally look also at the earlier hunk where we see these changes are inside the function that was called 'reintegrate_merge_locked' but is now a cut-down function called 'find_reintegrate_merge'.  So ...

Instead of performing the merge, the (renamed) function now only finds the URLs and returns them.  Then, later on (in merge_reintegrate_locked), instead of calling this 'merge_cousins' function directly, we instead call 'merge_locked' (which is the guts of svn_client_merge4()) which calls 'merge_cousins'.

AFAIK we've had this kind of initialization in the Subversion source for a long time now, so I'm treating it as de-facto acceptable even though not C'89.  I've been writing quite a few of these recently.  I can change them all to the long-winded alternative if proven necessary, but I hope it's not necessary because I really like the brevity.
