'svn mergeinfo' has not been updated to deal with the mergeinfoless-copies
changes. I'll be working on that this week [estimate: 8 hours], as well as:

   * Turning off mergeinfo calculations during 'svn merge' against pre-1.5
     servers. [estimate: 4 hours]

   * Improving the default revisions chosen for a revision-less merge.
     [estimate: 4 hours]

   * Changing the default path for a source-less copy to be "myself", which
     is the only value with is both consistent and reasonably explainable
     to the average user. [estimate: 1 hour]

   * Improving the svn_client_merge() API to actually do source-relatedness
     checks instead of just assuming the sources aren't related. (And if
     they *are* related, I'll probably just have it call
     svn_client_merge_peg3() under the hood.) [estimate: 6 hours]
