Peter is correct. With the backport of r889840, when we produce svn_mergeinfo_t from a string representation, we tolerate relative merge source paths, but convert those paths to absolute paths in the resulting mergeinfo. We also do the same when converting svn_mergeinfo_t to a string representation. However, r889840 has nothing to do with the failing Python test, rather it is the fix for issue #3547 "'svnadmin load --parent-dir PATH' can destroy mergeinfo" that caused the test to fail. However, the test was wrong, it was *expecting* incorrect behavior, see http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-01/0018.shtml for a full explanation.
