Hi Julian,

calculate_remaining_ranges(), nor any of its helpers, ever actually
uses CHILD->PATH, even when called by
do_directory_merge()/populate_remaining_ranges().

Perhaps the doc string should simply say, "Determine what portions of
URL1_at_REVISION1 -> URL2_at_REVISION2 have already been merged to CHILD and
populate CHILD->REMAINING_RANGES with the ranges that still need
merging."?

Regardless, even though it is currently unnecessary I think
do_file_merge() should allocate an empty string for CHILD->PATH when
it allocates the svn_client__merge_path_t *:

It strikes me as awkward and inconsistent to special case
svn_client__merge_path_t for file merges. Does that sound reasonable?
