This looks like the right spot to push the additional "svn:mergeinfo"
property information from the client to the repository. I like the
direct editor drive here in libsvn_client's do_item_commit(), rather
than in svn_wc_transmit_prop_deltas(), because in WC -> repos
copy/move, we don't intend to set this merge info on the WC -- we only
set it on the repository on the copy/move destination.

I have a question/concern about the use of svn_client_commit_item2_t's
wcprop_changes field (which references
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=806).

The doc string on libsvn_client/ra.c:push_wc_prop() mentions that it
"implements the 'svn_ra_push_wc_prop_func_t' interface". This
function does make use of wcprop_changes, which contains property data
sent back from the repository for *post-commit* processing. That is,
it appears that any data left in wcprop_changes after a commit occurs
is intended to trigger some additional processing which sets its
property data on the WC. See 'svn di -r 3632:3635', which shows
wcprop_changes propogated down to
libsvn_wc/adm_ops.c:process_committed_leaf(), by way of what's now the
svn_wc_process_committed4() -- or _committed5, on the merge-tracking
branch -- API.

While I didn't notice anything in particular which would prevent us
from using wcprop_changes as a pre-commit queue of additional property
changes to send from the client to the repository, won't we need to
clear out the wcprop_changes array after sending the data to the repos
as part of the commit to avoid doing unnecessary and incorrect
post-commit processing (which sets the WC's properties to what we sent
to the repos)? Something along the lines of a
"item->wcprop_changes->nelts = 0;" as the last statement at the end of
your "if (item->wcprop_changes)" block might suffice.

A change like this should be committed to trunk first, as it
introduces a general non-WC property setting mechanism which is
decoupled from Merge Tracking.

Changes like this which drive a RA editor should be tested over all RA
mechanisms.
