I'm either misunderstanding you, or you are misunderstanding the
code. Let's repeat that example:

1. cmpilato creates txn1 and makes a change to /foo/bar.
2. rassilon creates txn2 and makes a change to /foo/baz.
3. rassilon commits txn2
4. cmpilato commits txn1

Now, I just reproduced this case, using gdb to halt cmpilato's commit
at the call to svn_fs_commit_txn() until after a rassilon's commit was
started and finished (so cmpilato got the first txn, but the second
commit). Now, I'm looking at a db_dump of the `nodes' table, and I
see exactly what *I* expected, but what I think *you* would not expect
to see (sorry for being so dense about this).

Please allow me to annotate, C-style:

   /* / in revision 0 */
   0.0.0
   ((dir) 0 0 )

   /* / in revision 1 (in which I created /foo, /foo/bar, and /foo/baz) */
   0.0.1
   ((dir 5 0.0.0) 0 1 0)

   /* / in cmpilato's txn */
   0.0.4
   ((dir 5 0.0.1) 0 1 5)

   /* / in rassilon's txn */
   0.0.5
   ((dir 5 0.0.1) 0 1 8)

   /* /foo in revision 1 */
   1.0.1
   ((dir) 0 1 1)

   /* /foo in cmpilato's txn */
   1.0.4
   ((dir 5 1.0.1) 0 1 6)

   /* /foo in rassilon's txn */
   1.0.5
   ((dir 5 1.0.1) 0 1 9)

   [...] /* bar's and baz's node revisions follow, but they don't
            really matter. */

Now, while auto-merging allowed cmpilato's commit at all -- noting
accurately that while /foo was now out of date, it certainly bore no
conflicting changes -- pay attention to the predecessor IDs in those
skels. cmpilato's /foo and rassilon's /foo both have a predecessor of
the original revision 1 /foo. Am I correct in assuming that you think
that cmpilato's /foo should have assumed a predecessor of rassilon's
/foo during the merge process?
