Yes, I suppose we could rewrite the logic to detect the "no renumbering"
case more explicitly if we wanted to. Yes, I don't think there is
a reason to do that right now (regardless of any CRLF fixes we have in

So, the terminating NUL will be there, and embedded NULs cannot happen
for svn:mergeinfo. Thanks for clarifying.
