Svn Bug? Cherrypicking a change causes incorrect mergeinfo recording later; breaks reintegrate.

Hello,

I'm hitting what appears to be a bug in subversion. The problem is that I get incorrect subtree mergeinfo after a merge to my branch; the subtree is not recording the merge, and this later prevents reintegrate from working (via "Reintegrate can only be used if revisions [X] through [Y] were previously merged from [URL]..."). It appears that this bug is triggered by a differentbranch->trunk cherrypicking merge earlier in the history of the subtree.

I've distilled this down to a simple test case that reproduces the problem. The attached "cherrypick-mergeinfo-fail-test.sh" script will run the steps necessary to demonstrate. I've also attached the output this script generates as "cherrypick-test-output.txt", so you can see the problem without running the script.

I'm still on subversion 1.6.5 (r38866), but the 1.6.6 CHANGES file doesn't appear to address this. I've tried this on a standard Mac OS X SnowLeopard (10.6.2) system with the system install of subversion.

Is there something I've actually done wrong here that's triggering the problem? Or does this appear to be a bug?

Thanks very much,

        - Rick Ballard
