I think you have misunderstood it.
I have some merges on '/a/b/c' which records the actual mergeinfo which
is applicable to its child '/a/b/c/d' and grand child '/a/b/c/d/e'...etc.
When Someone ask for 'mergeinfo' on '/a/b/c/d/e' current
'get_merge_info_for_path' gives nothing which my patch fixes it.

I agree with you on explicit revert or removal of 'svn:mergeinfo' should
give no 'mergeinfo' at all. Anyway this is also broken today to which I
will post a separate patch.

With regards
