When comparing mergeinfo for '/subversion/trunk' between ^/subversion/branches/1....@880529 and ^/subversion/branches/1.6.x-r40...@880530 it's interesting to note that there are exactly the same number of revisions (273) even though they *all* differ. The ranges on the 1.6.x-r40452 branch were from 3655 to 3910 revisions higher than those on 1.6.x. It's probably not a coincidence that 3644 is the number of revisions in the old CVS repository that hosted Subversion development prior to the project becoming self-hosting. Mike converted this history with cvs2svn and combined it with our s.t.o. history and the whole thing got loaded to s.a.o -- see http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/README. This in turn is likely related to the busted mergeinfo offsets we found during 1.6.7 testing, http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2009-12/0386.shtml (which is still an open item for me). I still can't replicate anything like this, but I'm syncing a mirror of s.a.o. right now and will use it to more exactly replicate what Stefan did... Paul
