So this morning I did a merge from r32476 through r32659 on trunk into the
file-externals branch. Then I did two commits in trunk and then merged them
into the branch in a second commit.

The second merge gave a message on stdout that it was merging r31705 through
r32662 from trunk, which is odd, given that I just brought it up to date to
r32659. And I just copy the merge range into the svn commit message.

For example, the build.conf, there is no explicit mergeinfo from trunk

$ svn pg svn:mergeinfo
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/file-externals/build.conf -r 32662 |
grep trunk | wc
0

$ svn pg svn:mergeinfo
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/file-externals/build.conf -r 32663 |
grep trunk
/trunk/build.conf:31705-32662

build.conf was not modified between my commits and merges.

And then message:

$ svn diff -c 32663
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/file-externals/build.conf

Property changes on: build.conf
___________________________________________________________________
Modified: svn:mergeinfo
    Merged /trunk/build.conf:r31705-32662

This show's all the revisions from r31705 through 32662 were merged in, but this
file has been merged previously.

So why would it print 'r31705 through r32662' instead of 'r32660 through r32662'?
