Hi Stefan,

Something is odd about this report. You indicate the merge is with
--ignore-ancestry (6th argument to svn_client_merge_peg3). This means
that merge.c:do_file_merge, the only caller of
remove_noop_merge_ranges, will set its local variable REMAINING_RANGES
to a single element array:

  range.start = revision1;
  range.end = revision2;
  range.inheritable = TRUE;
  if (honor_mergeinfo)
    {
      ### --ignore-ancestry means we aren't honoring mergeinfo so we
never enter this block
    }

  /* The simple cases where our remaining range is REVISION1:REVISION2. */
  if (!honor_mergeinfo || merge_b->record_only)
    {
      remaining_ranges = apr_array_make(pool, 1, sizeof(&range));
      APR_ARRAY_PUSH(remaining_ranges, svn_merge_range_t *) = &range;
    }

Which in turn means that remove_noop_merge_ranges can never be called:

  if (!merge_b->record_only)
    {
      apr_array_header_t *ranges_to_merge = remaining_ranges;

      /* If we have ancestrally related sources and more than one
         range to merge, eliminate no-op ranges before going through
         the effort of downloading the many copies of the file
         required to do these merges (two copies per range). */
      if (merge_b->sources_ancestral && (remaining_ranges->nelts > 1))
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        {
          const char *old_sess_url = NULL;
          SVN_ERR(svn_client__ensure_ra_session_url(&old_sess_url,
                                                    merge_b->ra_session1,
                                                    primary_url, subpool));
          SVN_ERR(remove_noop_merge_ranges(&ranges_to_merge,
                                           merge_b->ra_session1,
                                           remaining_ranges, subpool));

Also, line 5022 in
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.6.2/subversion/libsvn_client/merge.c
is:

5022 if ((! SVN_IS_VALID_REVNUM(oldest_rev)) || (min_rev < oldest_rev))
