svn: Mergeinfo for '.' maps to an empty revision range

Hi,

I get this error in one of our branches when I try to run 'svn log -g',
or when I try to merge that branch into another. I'm using svn 1.5.6 on
the client (the server is still running 1.5.2).

I see that this has been raised as issue #3312
(http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3312), and has been
discussed before on this mailing list
(http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&dsMessage
Id=98178 for instance.) However, from the CHANGES file it looks like
#3312 was fixed in 1.5.5, and I'm still getting the error in 1.5.6 (my
understanding from the mailing list was that the fix was on the client,
not on the server; see
http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&dsMessageI
d=94117)

The mergeinfo for one of the folders it complains about looks like this:

/branches/2009/R1/AppSupport_BAU/MyCompany/Company.Web/APPLICATION/Prope
rties:647624-648453
/branches/2009/R1/AppSupport_Planned1/MyCompany/Company.Web/APPLICATION/
Properties:647625-648368
/branches/2009/R1/BAUAppSupport/MyCompany/Company.Web/APPLICATION/Proper
ties:647619-647623
/branches/2009/R1/BondSTPPhase3/MyCompany/Company.Web/APPLICATION/Proper
ties:514780-514864
/branches/2009/R1/Combined/MyCompany/Company.Web/APPLICATION/Properties:
514864-647312
/branches/2009/R1/PlannedAppSupport1/MyCompany/Company.Web/APPLICATION/P
roperties:647620-647624
/branches/PVCSImport/MyCompany/Company.Web/APPLICATION/Properties:575540
-647168
/trunk/Code/MyCompany/Company.Web/APPLICATION/Properties:10-512757
/trunk/MyCompany/Company.Web/APPLICATION/Properties:514761-575539,647169
-647191

This all looks valid as I understand it. Some of the branches that this
refers to have since been deleted though, although I wouldn't have
though that this should cause any problems.

Has anyone else come across the same problem? If so, are there any
fixes/workarounds?

Thanks,
Nick

Mark, upgrading the server fixed the issue. Thanks a lot for your work
on tracking this down and submitting a patch!

I'm not really sure it's client only (we certainly upgraded both at my
site); the mergeinfo you have on particular files isn't really
relevant, the thing that produces empty mergeinfo involves chewing on
it internally and leaving empty leftovers instead of eliding them.
Certainly if you're getting the error, I'd give odds that you're still
running the broken code (the fix looked convincingly complete) so that
strongly suggests you need a server upgrade too.

(If there were workarounds, I wouldn't have had to put so much effort
into it :-) I didn't find any...)
