TortoiseSVN Blame and merge tracking

Hi ya

I have just performed my very first large merge from a feature branch
to the trunk. To make it interesting, a few changes from the trunk was
cherry picked to the feature branch. The final merge to trunk was
performed using reintegration, and all changes was merged perfectly.

I'm now checking whether TortoiseSVN blame is able to display the
merged revisions properly, and generally the blame-functionality works
wonderful.

But I have a few cases where something odd happens:

1) Have a merged checkin with original revision 39248 (2008-26-08),
which adds 10 new lines to a file. The blame believes that 9 of these
lines was added at revision 15768 (14-19-2005).
  - When right-clicking the one line which correctly says revision
39248 and select "Show changes", then the title says 39248 but it
shows an older revision of the file. The two panes says rev. 39247 and
39248, but cannot display any changes.
  - When right-clicking one of the other 9 lines and select "Show
Changes", then it correctly displays the changes, but they do not
include the ones that the blame believes are from that revision.
  - When doing a standard svn blame, then the 10 lines are marked as
being from the merge-commit (39331)

2) The same merged checkin with original revision 39248 (2008-26-08)
also modifies 6 lines in another line. The blame doesn't recognize
these lines as coming from this revision, but says they arrived with
the merge commit rev 39331
 - When showing the log for that file, and enables "Include merged
revisions" then it correctly displays 39248 to be a merged revision.
And when showing changes for that revision, then it correctly displays
that the 6 lines was modified.
 - Other merge revisions to the same file are correctly shown as
merged in the blame for that file.
 - When doing a standard svn blame, then the 6 lines are also marked
as being from the merge-commit (39331)

The 39248 revision was not the cherry picking checkin to the feature
branch.

Thank you in advance
