Dave,

Let me rephrase...

svn_wc_canonicalize_svn_prop() now calls svn_mergeinfo_parse(), not
because it needs to parse mergeinfo per se, but because
svn_mergeinfo_parse() will QC the prop val and return a helpful error if
it violates mergeinfo grammar or a few other select rules (overlapping
ranges, unordered ranges, and backwards ranges).

The one thing svn_mergeinfo_parse() does *not* check is if paths map to
empty rev ranges (it considers these valid). This check is done
separately in svn_wc_canonicalize_svn_prop().

My comment is essentially asking, "Ok, then, why not put the check for
empty ranges in svn_mergeinfo_parse()?" Answer: Because I didn't want
*svn_mergeinfo_parse()* to start throwing errors when parsing previously
valid mergeinfo. Problem is, my main concern, that
svn_mergeinfo_parse() is called when doing a proplist is, uh, how to put
this, not true. Why, why, why did I think that!?!

Anyway, my comment had very little to do with
svn_wc_canonicalize_svn_prop(). And FWIW, after reading Dan's thoughts
here, http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2007-12/0100.shtml, I was planning
to move the empty range check into svn_mergeinfo_parse() and remove this
comment.

Geez, I hope this all makes some sense(?)
