I managed to reproduce the problem with a small test repo which I just
reported to Subversion dev list (and also on this list, sorry!) It seems
that repeated merging of conflicting properties triggers the error. However,
now that TSVN squeezes the log output range during merge, the problem does
not occur so easily.

I also learned that sometimes -r1:2 -r2:3 can be different from -r2:4 in the
context of svn merge (see
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=139949). Also
because of this it is good that the range is squeezed by default.

I retested the merge with a recent nightly and can confirm that the speed is
now in par with the command-line client.

Thanks for your hard work on this!
Kari.
