mergetracking - svn merge tries to merge direct ancestors

Hi folks

I tried mergetracking today on the debian kernel repository[1]. I use the 1.5.x
branch with r30710.

I only used /dists/sid/linux-2.6 and /dists/trunk/linux-2.6.
/dists/sid/linux-2.6 was copied (replaced) from /dists/trunk/linux-2.6
in revision 10204:

| ------------------------------------------------------------------------
| r10204 | waldi | 2008-01-26 11:12:53 +0100 (Sa, 26 Jan 2008) | 2 lines
| Changed paths:
| R /dists/sid/linux-2.6 (from /dists/trunk/linux-2.6:10203)
|
| Branch from /dists/trunk/linux-2.6.
|
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did a "svn merge --record-only ../../sid/linux-2.6" on
/dists/trunk/linux-2.6, which AFAIK should just mark anything as merged. I got
the following merge info:

| Property changes on: .
| ___________________________________________________________________
| Added: svn:mergeinfo
| Merged /trunk/kernel/linux-2.6-devel:r4010
| Merged /trunk/kernel/source/linux-kernel-2.6.12:r3417-3509

| Merged /dists/trunk/linux-2.6:r4095-4468,4504-4717,4732-10203

This infos looks weird. Also another svn merge tries to merge that again:

| $ svn merge ../../sid/linux-2.6
| --- Merging r3025 through r3351 into '.':
| A debian/control
| A debian/flavours
| $ svn info debian/control
| Path: debian/control
| Name: control
| URL: $TESTREPO/dists/trunk/linux-2.6/debian/control
| Repository Root: $TESTREPO
| Revision: 11104
| Node Kind: file
| Schedule: add
| Copied From URL: $TESTREPO/branches/kernel-image-2.6.11/debian/control
| Copied From Rev: 3351

Maybe I did something wrong, or the code is not able to cope with the history.
