Wow~~ Incredible! You can speak Chinese! Where did you learn it from,huh? I'm
really curious about it. ^_^

Okay, I'll mention it next time if I only run a partial check.

And the new patch was also included in the last reply, did you neglect it?

Well, I observed something that I can't tell whether it is a Okay. I'll
show the detail this time.

In log_tests.py, there is a function 'merge_history_repos' used to prepare a
repository with complicated merge history. And it was in the function that I
found where the source of misc test failure lies in.

Here is a modified code snatch in that function. The original code used 'svn
mkdir' instead and caused the test failure. I explicitly add these directories
in depth empty here.

  # Create trunk/tags/branches - r1
  os.mkdir('trunk')
  os.mkdir('tags')
  os.mkdir('branches')
  svntest.main.run_svn(None, 'add', '--depth=empty', 'trunk')
  svntest.main.run_svn(None, 'add', '--depth=empty', 'tags')
  svntest.main.run_svn(None, 'add', '--depth=empty', 'branches')
  svntest.main.run_svn(None, 'ci', '-m',
                       'Add trunk/tags/branches structure.')

There is a merge later, as quoted here:
  # Do some mergeing - r6
  #
  # Mergeinfo changes on /trunk:
  # Merged /trunk:r2
  # Merged /branches/a:r3-5
  os.chdir('trunk')
  svntest.main.run_svn(None, 'merge', os.path.join('..', branch_a) + '@HEAD')

The command 'svn merge ../branches/a_at_HEAD' will derive its depth from the depth
of trunk -- svn_depth_empty. After this merge, I checked the state of wc:

$ svndev st
 M trunk
 M trunk/A
 M trunk/iota

$ svndev diff

Property changes on: trunk
___________________________________________________________________
Added: svn:mergeinfo
   Merged /trunk:r2*
   Merged /branches/a:r3-5*

Property changes on: trunk/A
___________________________________________________________________
Added: svn:mergeinfo
   Merged /branches/a/A:r3-5*

Property changes on: trunk/iota
___________________________________________________________________
Added: svn:mergeinfo
   Merged /branches/a/iota:r3-5

It seems that the merge-info has recorded this merge. However, no merge on
file content actually happened.

The diff of branch a is as follows:

$ svndev diff -r3:5 branches/a

That's all. It's up to you to judge whether it is okay.
