I meant to reuse this implementation in
libsvn_client/diff.c:get_wc_target_merge_info.

Hope I made it clear.

Please read the implementation of the following carefully.
a) 'svn_repos_fs_get_merge_info' in subversion/libsvn_repos/fs-wrap.c
b)svn_fs_merge_info__get_merge_info in
subversion/libsvn_fs_util/merge-info-sqlite-index.c
You will understand that for this case(you have some meaningful stuff
inside your rel_paths array) that you work with 'mergeinfo' hash will
never be null, as with many of our library functions having
'apr_hash_t**' kind of out params.
