Yes, but they weren't modified (but moved with the tree) in the whole
branch lifetime on either trunk or the branch. And they both look good
(only printable chars and \n/0x0a in the properties, with --strict).

Unfortunately the problem has been resolved by throwing away the
properties. Also it happened not on the conflicted forward merge
into the branch, but on the --reintegrate backmerge, and I've had
thrown away the other sandboxes that refuse to commit in frustration.

(And this was one of those frustrating merges where you get just
a delete/edit conflict on src/com when the merge algorithm didn't
realize that src/com was actually moved to src/java/com and thus
fails to apply the changes in src/com there.)

You're right, someone had mercy, and it's 1.6.6.
