Hi Paul. I think we can tighten the validation of svn_merge_range_t to exclude change number "r0" (RANGE->start == -1) as in the following patch.
My reasoning is that a change numbered "r0" is not a valid concept in any Subversion system because the state (tree-snapshot) numbered r0 is by definition the beginning. (It also happens to be empty by definition, but that's not so relevant.) We can say the same in a different way: change "r0" would mean the change from "r(-1)" to "r0", and "r(-1)" is not a valid concept. Makes sense? [[[ Tighten merge-range validation to not allow "change number r0" aka "revision range -1:Y". * subversion/libsvn_subr/mergeinfo.c (IS_VALID_FORWARD_RANGE): New macro. (get_type_of_intersection): Use IS_VALID_FORWARD_RANGE() for tighter validation of arguments than before: it previously accepted "change 0". (range_intersect, range_contains): Validate arguments.
