OK. In that case I suspect that it's not being caused by a merge to or from
the repo root, but by some other conditions in which reintegrate tries to
calculate a relative path to
I suspect the invalid rel-path to svn_client__repos_location_segments() must
occur in one of these two places (quoting from 1.7.4, abbreviating):
static svn_error_t *
find_unmerged_mergeinfo(... source_catalog ... source_repos_rel_path ...)
{ ...
for (hi = apr_hash_first(scratch_pool, source_catalog); ...)
{
source_path = svn__apr_hash_index_key(hi);
source_path_rel_to_session =
svn_relpath_skip_ancestor(source_repos_rel_path, source_path);
...
/* Get the source path's natural history and convert it to
mergeinfo. Then merge that natural history into source
path's explicit or inherited mergeinfo. */
svn_client__repos_location_segments(
..., source_path_rel_to_session, ...));
}
static svn_error_t *
calculate_left_hand_side(... target_repos_rel_path,
subtrees_with_mergeinfo,
target_repos_root, ...)
{ ...
/* Get the history (segments) for TARGET_ABSPATH and any of its subtrees
with explicit mergeinfo. */
for (hi = apr_hash_first(scratch_pool, subtrees_with_mergeinfo); ...)
{
absolute_path = svn__apr_hash_index_key(hi);
svn_client__path_relative_to_root(
&path_rel_to_root, ..., absolute_path, target_repos_root, ...)
path_rel_to_session = svn_relpath_skip_ancestor(
target_repos_rel_path,path_rel_to_root);
svn_client__repos_location_segments(... path_rel_to_session ...)
}
But I can't (yet) figure out by inspection what merge inputs would cause that.
In trunk, some time in the last few months I changed these code paths so that
this can't happen. Instead of calculating a relpath (relative to the session),
instead the code now reparents the session to the desired URL and passes a
literal "" as the relpath argument to svn_ra_get_location_segments(). My
intention was just to make the code simpler to read, but the change may have
had the effect of eliminating some latent bugs as well. (Of course I accept
that it could have introduced bugs as well, or just changed the result from an
assertion failure to quietly doing something wrong.)
We ought to back-port some sort of fix or improved failure mode to 1.7.x when
we figure it out. If nothing else, we could throw an error if the relpath
comes out as NULL in the two code places I quoted above.
