Yes the merge results are the same - including the mergeinfo property.
Just to make sure I created a test repository, whch I made a backup
of. I then performed the same test as earlier with TSVN with the same
results as the original post. Then I deleted the repository (and
working copies) and restored the backup repository, check-out branch
and trunk, finally I performed the same test with svn - same results
as original post.
FYI, if it helps, the mergeinfo property for test15-trunk after the
merge is:
/branches/1.x:5-6
/trunk:2-4
