Re: Mergeinfo overwritten from successive merges

[Branko Čibej <br...@wandisco.com>]

Over on users@, we got a report about mergeinfo being overwritten when
two different merges to the same branch were made from different working
copies. I've been able to reproduce this with the attached script; but
only via http://, local:// and svn:// refuse to commit the second merge,
as expected.

Another data point: this can only be reproduced when 'trunk' and
'branch' are not related; if I create 'branch' as a copy of 'trunk',
this does not happen.

The Apache config I used was a simple

LoadModule dav_svn_module /usr/local/opt/subversion/libexec/mod_dav_svn.so
<Location /repro/repo>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /tmp/test/repo
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Location>


Here's the output of my script:

brane@zulu:/tmp/test$ ~/repro2.sh 
+ svnadmin create repo
+ svn checkout http://localhost/repro/repo structure

+ svn mkdir structure/trunk
