Re: BUG: Record Only Merge modified Working Copy

But the operation does modify the contents of the files. My working copy is
filled with all the left/right files you'd expect to see result from the
conflict, and my source files contain the "<<<<<<"/">>>>>>" annotations that
normally result from a conflict. Plus, new files appear and deleted files
are removed. It's my understanding that in an "Only record the merge"
scenario, none of these modifications should occur; only the relevant
svn:mergeinfo properties should be added/updated.
