Hmm, I could have sworn that I did a re-checkout of all my working
copies post-cmpilato's upgrade. I thought the mergeinfo conversion
happened at the same time as the upgrade, but if it didn't, I can see
how a window would have opened up to allow this to happen.

In any case, I'm sorry if I screwed stuff up. :(

That *sounds* right, but my knowledge of the inner workings of mergeinfo
is a bit shaky.
