Start with a branch ^/B1 that has subtree mergeinfo on ^/B1/S1 and ^/B1/S1.
Copy ^/B1 to ^/B3 and make changes in ^/B1/S1 and ^/B3/S1.
Now do a catch-up merge on ^/B3 and reintegrate merge to ^/B1, no additional
mergeinfo is recorded on S2.
Finally attempt to keepalive ^/B3 by doing another catchup merge from ^/B1.
This merge fails to run complaining about missing mergeinfo on S1.
Script below, the final merge fails with:
svn: E195016: Reintegrate can only be used if revisions 6 through 10 were
previously merged from file:///home/pm/sw/subversion/obj/repo/B3 to the
reintegrate source, but this is not the case:
B1/S1
Missing ranges: /B1/S1:7
What makes this really confusing is that the catchup merge from B1 to B3 does
not record mergeinfo on B3/S2 because there are no changes in S2. If we do an
explicit subtree merge to force mergeinfo to be recorded then the error about a
missing merge on S1 goes away. It's all very confusing.
