Yeah, I realized that after. I personally think the copy source
should be a special case. After all, we removed the mergeinfo for
that later and the copy source typically has merging significance.

The fact that svn mergeinfo did not report anything says to me there
probably are not any mergeinfo properties between my branch and the
root. Right? I will try to search the repository to see if any other
paths have it set.
I did a test with a second repository that did have some mergeinfo set
for certain. However, in that example, svn mergeinfo did show this
information.
