Hi, I've encountered erroneous (IMHO) behavior of "svn log" command, and would like to confirm whether this is a bug or I'm missing something here. (I've described the problem in users mailing list previously but didn't receive an answer).
Steps to reproduce the issue: Start from empty module with standard structure created under repository root: <repo root> \-module |-branches |-tags \-trunk Perform the following sequence of commands from checked out trunk: echo "content" > file.txt svn add file.txt svn commit -m "creating file" svn copy -m "creating branch" "^/module/trunk" "^/module/branches/branch" svn switch "^/module/branches/branch" echo "modified content" > file.txt svn commit -m "modifying file in branch" svn switch "^/module/trunk" svn merge "^/module/branches/branch" svn commit -m "merging changes from branch" svn copy file.txt file-copy.txt svn commit -m "copying file" Now the following command: svn log --use-merge-history --stop-on-copy "^/module/trunk/file-copy.txt" produces: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r195 | WizarD | 2011-08-27 13:02:53 +0400 (Сб, 27 авг 2011) | 1 line copying file ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r193 | WizarD | 2011-08-27 13:02:29 +0400 (Сб, 27 авг 2011) | 1 line Merged via: r195 modifying file in branch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r192 | WizarD | 2011-08-27 13:02:17 +0400 (Сб, 27 авг 2011) | 1 line Merged via: r195 creating branch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ although no merging was performed in r195. The above was checked with local repository using Subversion 1.6.17 on Windows (1.6.17-SlikSvn-tag-1.6.17@1130896-WIN32). The issue is also reproduced with Subversion 1.7.0-rc3 (CollabNet build for Win32), only the phrase 'Merged via' in "svn log" output is replaced with 'Reverse merged via' in that case.
