Yes. svn_client_merge_peg3 covers the case where A == C or B == C. We
could have svn_client_merge3() just call svn_client_merge_peg3() in those
cases, but I'm not sure it's worth it. We'd be reopening ra-sessions and
calculating repos roots and stuff all over again unnecessarily, and the code
overlap is super-minimal already.

Oh, I was thinking about this backwardsly. Are you asking if
svn_client_merge_peg3() should just become a wrapper around
svn_client_merge3()? It certainly could, but I'd had to do is-ancestral
checks all over again when we already know the sources are ancestrally
related (by virtue of coming in through the ..._peg3() interface).

Then again, maybe you were suggesting something else. Or maybe you were
suggesting nothing at all. Or maybe I'm just enjoying the typing practice
this mail affords me. Or...
