empty path in mergeinfo

I think we currently allow the following in mergeinfo:

: 1-3

ie, empty path strings.  This is bad, right?

Yeah, that doesn't have any valid meaning that I can think of.  svn
propset allows that right now and that we can fix easily.  But did you
see this mergeinfo arise as the result of a merge or by some other
