Blank line in historic svn:mergeinfo

Hi,

Our FishEye indexing service is currently having problems with a repository which appears to be due to an invalid svn:mergeinfo property which has an empty line.

Looking at the revisions in question - I can successfully look at the regular log with no issues:

$ svn log -v -r44647:44648 http://<REPO-URL>/Database/OPR/01_BUILD/branches/DB_OPR-89.x_at_44647
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r44648 | luw07 | 2016-07-15 09:43:34 +0100 (Fri, 15 Jul 2016) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   M /Database/OPR/01_BUILD/branches/DB_OPR-89.x

CIMBT-602 clean
------------------------------------------------------------------------

But if I attempt to look at the merge history as well I get an error:

$ svn log -g -r44647:44648 http://<REPO-URL>/Database/OPR/01_BUILD/branches/DB_OPR-89.x_at_44647
svn: E200020: Pathname not terminated by ':'

Running a diff between these revisions reveals the erroneous empty line:

$ svn diff -r44647:44648 http://<REPO-URL>/Database/OPR/01_BUILD/branches/DB_OPR-89.x_at_44647
Index: .
===================================================================
--- . (revision 44647)
+++ . (revision 44648)

Property changes on: .
___________________________________________________________________
Modified: svn:mergeinfo
## -1,3 +1,4 ##

/Database/OPR/01_BUILD/branches/DB_OPR-11.8:25707-25711

/Database/OPR/01_BUILD/branches/DB_OPR-11.x:25671-25673

This appears to have been fixed at a later revision in the repository:

$ svn diff -r44647:44662 http://<REPO-URL>/Database/OPR/01_BUILD/branches/DB_OPR-89.x_at_44647

$ svn diff -r44647:44663 http://<REPO-URL>/Database/OPR/01_BUILD/branches/DB_OPR-89.x_at_44647

Is there any way I can modify the svn:mergeinfo properties on the revisions where this appears to be broken (revisions 44648 through to 44662)? When attempting to set this I get the following error:

$ svn propset svn:mergeinfo -r44648 -F save-file http://<REPO-URL>/Database/OPR/01_BUILD/branches/DB_OPR-89.x
svn: E205000: Try 'svn help propset' for more information
svn: E205000: Cannot specify revision for setting versioned property 'svn:mergeinfo'

Presumably this is because svn:mergeinfo isn't a revision property?

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this?

Thanks in advance,

David.
