Then we may need to change the do_merge, do_single_file_merge, to accept
the 'notification_receiver_baton_t *'. So that we can do this check at
single place. Am I correct in understanding this?

Will do.

I am still not clear here.
<comment inside --record-only block>
/* ### Handle WC-local reverts which have modified our merge
                 ### info. */
</comment>

Why bother about reverts? That too in record-only block! . The
'do_(merge|single_file_merge)' 's job is to append(with mergeinfo
algebra) the merge range to existing mergeinfo. Why it should bother
about earlier revert attempts?

Do you mean the scenario like the following
* pristine WC with svn:mergeinfo '/branches/b1:87-96'
* svn merge -r 88:87 url_to_branches/b1
Then svn:mergeinfo will be '/branches/b1:87, 89-96'
I fail to see the connection to above comment and the above scenario.

With regards
