Umm, glad you asked... as it turns out, I left two steps out of my  
narrative. The middle bit should have been:

svn export -r 1765 http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk/test/ 
bugs/lpp-2587.lzx test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx
svn add test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx
svn merge -r 1837:1838 http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk/ 
test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx

And I need to resubmit my changeset.

The reason was that for some reason test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx hadn't  
been merged over from legals. It was created in r1719 and modified  
twice, in r1765 and r1838. The previous trunk->legals merge should  
have brought over that file in r1719 and merged the change from  
r1765, but it didn't.

So this was an expedient -- and actually kind of a weird mix of  
expedience and caution. Why didn't I do:

svn export -r 1719 http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk/test/ 
bugs/lpp-2587.lzx test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx
svn merge -r 1764:1765 http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk/ 
test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx
svn merge -r 1837:1838 http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk/ 
test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx

to preserve change history?

Or, if history wasn't a concern, simply

svn export -r 1837 http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk/test/ 
bugs/lpp-2587.lzx test/bugs/lpp-2587.lzx

?

Anyway, I'm not sure it really matters.

But we should look into why lpp-2587.lzx didn't make it into the last  
merge (which did cover 1719 and 1765). Perhaps other files didn't  
make it? I suppose I'll spelunk a bit on that.
