Essentially we are skipping a reverse merge because we cannot record
it. That's fine by me so long as we make it clear to the user. This is
clear:

$ svn co file://`pwd`/repo/A2_at_2 wc
$ svn merge -c-3 ^/A2 wc
svn: E195020: Cannot reverse-merge a range from a path's own future history; try updating first

but I believe simply skipping the notifications to give:

$ svn co file://`pwd`/repo/A wc
$ svn merge -c-3 ^/A2 wc
$

would still be confusing.
