Storing merge history on a per-versioned resource (rather than only
per-parent directory) basis is definitely the long-term goal here.
If we parse merge info for a file from the WC (e.g. "/trunk/foo:3-7"),
then calculate the revision ranges remaining in the requested merge
(e.g. "-r7:9", when "-r5:9" was requested), during the merge of those
revision ranges into the WC we may change "svn:mergeinfo" property for
that file (e.g. to "/trunk/foo:2-7"). When we go to update the merge
info pertaining to that file, we need to re-parse its merge info from
the WC before we include the ranges for the delta(s) we just applied
(updating it to "/trunk/foo:2-9" instead of "/trunk/foo:3-9").

While we have recently been playing the "get the simple case working
first" game, Danny B. added code to handle this situation 3 weeks ago
to our current (versioned resource-specific) RA API,
svn_ra_get_merge_info().
