        Hi Paul,

Looking at this change I wonder if r34432 changes the notifications send on the dry merge action. I would expect it to miss notifications as the rest of the code depends on batton->paths_with_new_mergeinfo for looping over these items.

Should these notifications match the real merge or is it ok to just skip the changes that are only for mergeinfo recording?
