        It looks like subversion is too smart for me here. :) (1)(a)
produces svn:mergeinfo with '*' appended to all the blocked revision #s,
which means that mergeinfo isn't inheritable. So when I do (1)(b) the
changes still get merged into the files down in foo/, which isn't what I
want. So I guess I'd have to manually edit svn:mergeinfo to strip out
the '*'s. That still seems a bit safer than trying to construct the
svn:mergeinfo entirely manually, though, yeah?
