Description

Hi,

as described in http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2008-06/0938.shtml
merge doesn't properly honour a specified SOURCE.

Create a repository containing a file src/dir/file. Change this file in 
revision 2 and try to revert it using: 
 
$ svn merge -c -2 src 
 
Nothing happens! Specifying . or src/dir/file instead of src it works.
