rm -rf my_repo
rm -rf my_wc
REPO=file:///"$PWD"/my_repo
svnadmin create my_repo
mkdir -p my_wc/trunk
mkdir -p my_wc/tags
mkdir -p my_wc/branches
svn import -m "std layout" my_wc $REPO
rm -rf my_wc
svn mkdir -m "mkdir bin" $REPO/trunk/bin
svn mkdir -m "mkdir proj" $REPO/trunk/proj
svn co $REPO my_wc
echo rev1 > my_wc/trunk/bin/file
svn add my_wc/trunk/bin/file
svn propset svn:externals "../bin/file file" my_wc/trunk/proj
svn commit -m "svn:externals ../bin/file file" my_wc
svn copy -m "branch b1" $REPO/trunk/ $REPO/branches/b1
svn up my_wc

# set some dummy external in branch
rm -rf my_branch
svn co --depth empty $REPO/branches/b1 my_branch
ARGS="../bin/file kalle
../bin/file sven"
svn propset "svn:externals" "$ARGS" my_branch
svn commit -m "Setup externals" my_branch

rm -rf my_trunk
svn co --depth empty $REPO/trunk my_trunk

#Rev 6 is the above dummy external
svn merge --record-only -c 6 $REPO/branches/b1 my_trunk
#svn merge --record-only $REPO/branches/b1 my_trunk
svn merge $REPO/branches/b1 my_trunk

Now I see:
svn diff my_trunk/

Property changes on: my_trunk
___________________________________________________________________
Added: svn:mergeinfo
   Merged /branches/b1:r5-6*

Which looks OK to me.

Then I do the same except
  svn merge --record-only -c 6 $REPO/branches/b1 my_trunk
is replaced with
  svn merge --record-only $REPO/branches/b1 my_trunk

Now I get:
svn diff my_trunk/

Property changes on: my_trunk
___________________________________________________________________
Added: svn:mergeinfo
   Merged /trunk:r2-4*
   Merged /branches/b1:r5-6*

What is /trunk:r2-4* ? Should it be at all?
