For people who'd like to follow along without having to apply and run the patch, that test does:

Rev  A     A_COPY

02   |--cp-->X     # every X is a commit
3~6  X       |

07   |       X

08   |       |->X  # side-branch 'BRANCH_DEV1'

     |       |

     |       |
16   |       X

     |       |     # no keep-alive dance here

25   |       X

26   |       |->X  # side-branch 'BRANCH_DEV3'
27   |       |  X
28   |       X<-|

29   X       |
30   |->X    |
31   |  X    |
32   X<-|    |     # side-branch 'TRUNK_DEV3'
     |       |

WC   |--mrg->X     # 'merge ^/A A_COPY'

and the tail output for the last merge is:
