Re: subversion-1.8.0-rc2: diff_test 60 fails

Hi Philip,

thanks for your suggestions. I tried to dig a little deeper... and now
things are getting even more strange.

First, I tried to delete everything after the "update -r2" from
no_spurious_conflict so I could make a copy of the wc before the merge.
Guess what? Executing the "merge -c4 ^/" in a shell after running the
test worked perfectly fine. So I removed the "update -r2" from
no_spurious_conflict as well. Running "update -r2" and "merge -c4 ^/" in
a shell after the test worked perfectly fine again.

Obviously, the test script does something differently than me in a
shell. My python ain't that good, but I managed to come up with these lines:

   exit_code, out, err = svntest.actions.run_and_verify_svn(None, None,
[], 'update', '-r2', wc_dir)
   print "update exit_code: ", exit_code
   print "update out: ", out
   print "update err: ", err
   exit_code, out, err = svntest.actions.run_and_verify_svn(None, None,
[], 'merge', '-c4', '^/', wc_dir)
   print "merge exit_code: ", exit_code
   print "merge out: ", out
   print "merge err: ", err

Now the test prints:

update exit_code: 0
update out: ["Updating
'svn-test-work/working_copies/diff_tests-60':\n", 'U
svn-test-work/working_copies/diff_tests-60/3449_spurious\n', 'Updated to
revision 2.\n']
update err: []
merge exit_code: 0
merge out: ["--- Merging r4 into
'svn-test-work/working_copies/diff_tests-60':\n", 'U
svn-test-work/working_copies/diff_tests-60/3449_spurious\n', "---
Recording mergeinfo for merge of r4 into
'svn-test-work/working_copies/diff_tests-60':\n", ' U
svn-test-work/working_copies/diff_tests-60\n']
merge err: []

So, the update claims to have updated 3449_spurious to r2 and the merge
claims to have merged c4 into that file. As it turns out, both claims
seem correct. The contents of 3449_spurious look correct. However, "svn
status" and "svn diff" run afterwards both swear that the only local
modification of the working copy is a property change at the wc root,
the addition of the svn:mergeinfo property.

Any idea what's going on here? What could affect the python script in a
way that its merge is messed up, although the same merge run by hand
works fine?

I can provide a tarball containing the messed up working copy and the
repository if you like.

Kind regards,
Tobias
