[I'll look at all the problems, but I wan to take them one at a time to
avoid possible dependencies.]

I get the following:
$ svn pg svn:mergeinfo trunk/
/branches/a:3-11
/branches/b:10-13
/branches/c:5-16
/trunk:2
$ svn pg svn:mergeinfo trunk/@16
/branches/a:3-11
/branches/b:10-13
/trunk:2

And the mergeinfo diff as detected by 'log -g' is '/branches/c:5-16',
which is correct, and that's the history that it is tracing. Maybe you
could help me understand why should we not pull in everything, all of
5-16. If we should stop somewhere, how do we tell when to stopping
tracing history?
