Yes.

No. Consider attached example. Ofcourse you always bring forward
interesting cases ;). In this case I clearly forgot about something.

We need to find _all_ the branchpoints of M until we hit the path of the
MCRA, and either record them all or decide to infer them at the time
we need them. The latter could lead to some brute force searching
at a later point in time though (for every source merged that doesn't
have an entry in svn:merged-from yet).
