Hi,

I didn’t see my message coming through, but I’ll answer it anyway:

As you can see, the svn:mergeinfo property was set on these files as
well. Now, Mark claims in a recent message[1] that it is probably safe
to remove that mergeinfo, as long as it is kept on the project root.
This I did, finding out that there were some other directories which had
empty svn:mergeinfo properties as well. Don’t ask me how they got
there, they were there. Deleting all of them, committing … and merge
worked fine, as expected! That is, almost, but that will be the topic
of another post, as I don’t think they are related.

Should I report this as a bug?

Cheers, H.
