Now svn_fs_get_merge_info() calls 'svn_fs_util_get_merge_info' directly
instead of vtable hooks as I felt mergeinfo indexing is independent of
'fs backend' and only sqlite based.
Now I found to be wrong in this. I would make vtable based.

Then I see no meaning in the existence of libsvn_fs_util(Which I believe
is meant to hold the reusable sqlite code.)
Correct me if I am missing something.
