After merging all changes from a branch into the WC, a second attempt of
the same merge brings in a different file.
Full Details
I tried a merge in a clean WC of the branch 1.6.x_at_902803, using an
r902780M trunk build of svn. (I confirmed with an r902508 trunk build
that excludes the recent patch to add notifications when mergeinfo is
being recorded. The results are the same except lacking the extra
notifications.)

So far, so good.
Then I requested the same merge again in the same (now modified) WC,
expecting nothing further should happen, but I got:
[[[
$ svn merge --dry-run ^/subversion/branches/1.6.x-r891672/@902803

Why is it merging STATUS now? And is it ever meant to print any merge
activity ("U STATUS") without first having printed a "--- Merging ..."
header line?
