merge-tracking branch: merge of merge properties

Hi,

    I beleive that the current merge of merge properties is has to be
improved. Am working on that. I want to sound my ideas here for your
suggestions.

for example:

@r12:
svn:mergeinfo on /branches/branch1: /trunk: 3-5,6

Step 1:
cp /branches/branch1 /branches/branch2
@r13
svn:mergeinfo on /branches/branch2: /trunk: 3-5,6

Step 2:
merge /trunk -r 9-13 (into /branches/branch1)
@r14
svn:mergeinfo on /branches/branch1: /trunk: 3-5, 6, 10-13

Step 3:
merge /branches/branch1 -r13:14 (into /branches/branch2)
@r15
svn:mergeinfo on /branches/branch2: /trunk: 3-5,6
                                                          /branches/branch1:
14

I expect it to be:
@r15
svn:mergeinfo on /branches/branch2: /trunk: 3-5, 6, 10-13
                                                          /branches/branch1:
14

     By doing this, revisions available for merges from /trunk into
/branches/branch2 could be resolved by just looking up for the trunk merge
status in /branches/branch2. Otherwise, we might have to refer to
/branches/branch1@r14.

     Please give your feedback on the same.

Regards,
Madan.
