Note also that the svnmergeinfo property inheritence doesn't work even
when the nearest ancestor's mergeinfo is committed (Using standard greek
tree, cwd is root of WC):

Adding A_COPY

Committed revision 2.

Sending A\B\lambda
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 3.

>svn merge %URL%/A/B/lambda A_COPY\B\lambda
svn: A working copy merge source needs an explicit revision

>svn merge %URL%/A/B/lambda A_COPY\B\lambda -c3
U A_COPY\B\lambda

# 'A_COPY\B\lambda' should pick up r1 too.
>svn pl -vR
Properties on 'A_COPY':
  svn:mergeinfo : /A:1
Properties on 'A_COPY\B\lambda':
  svn:mergeinfo : /A/B/lambda:3
