Issue #2853, do_single_file_merge() lacks comprehensive "Replace-style merge" capability due to lack of attention to ancestry

From: Daniel Rall <dlr_at_finemaltcoding.com>

Mike, r25891 doesn't appear to handle Replace support for the 'svn
merge -r2:1 url' case which is blocking issue #2822 (by causing the
failure for revert test #15 w/ the patch in that issue). This
particular case does an implicit peg of HEAD, which is handled in the
block above the one quoted below (in which you've fixed the Replace
problem for history-sensitive merging).

In r25889, you changed the merge test case written by Senthil to
avoid this implicit use of a peg revision, and mentioned that "the
jury is still out (for me) on whether or not that use case is
expected to fail." Would you elaborate on this?

Thanks, Dan
