Since I am passing a "subpool" from the caller whose scope is short lived
within this "if (strcmp(name, SVN_PROP_MERGE_INFO) == 0)" condition, and
"value" is accessed outside of this if condition, which will require a string
duplication done explicitly, when I return a svn_string_t, I think it will be
better to have const char *.

Also in the function I do the following:

   svn_mergeinfo_to_stringbuf(&merge_val, modified_mergeinfo, pool);

   *mergeinfo_val = merge_val->data;

If I need to return a svn_string_t, I must use "svn_mergeinfo_to_string" which
is a function present in the private header "svn_mergeinfo_private.h".

If the above is not a concern, then I can resubmit a patch with the function
signature changed to svn_string_t.

I used this dump file
http://subversion.tigris.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/798/2982.dump
along with the following script (with various combinations of svndumpfilter
subcommands such as --drop-empty-revs, --renumber-revs) to test this patch. I
apologize I missed to check exclude closely :(

#!/bin/bash

SVN=svn
SVNADMIN=svnadmin
SVNDUMPFILTER=svndumpfilter

REPOS=/tmp/repos
REPOS1=/tmp/repos1
WC1=/tmp/wc1

rm -rf $REPOS1 $WC1

$SVNADMIN dump $REPOS > /tmp/l
$SVNDUMPFILTER include trunk branch1 branch2 branch10 branch7
--skip-missing-merge-sources --drop-empty-revs --renumber-revs < 2982.dump > /tmp/k
$SVNADMIN create $REPOS1
$SVNADMIN load $REPOS1 < /tmp/k
$SVN co file://$REPOS1 $WC1
$SVN pl -vR $WC1

</snip>

I ve come up with a new patch based on your review comments.

Thank You.
