Description

svn log -xml produces an invalid xml when the use-merge-history option is combined with -search

Example:

svn log --xml --verbose --use-merge-history --search "msg1"

The xml contains two closing </logentry> tags, but only one opening <logentry> tag.

The bug can be easily reproduced with the script attached to this issue, it is also available here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/91aa228d6c22bff7ec2cbba2aecb2cd3

Expected output:
xml with just one "</logentry>" line

Actual output (see last lines):

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <log>
     <logentry
     reverse-merge="false"
     revision="3">
     <author>xyz</author>
     <date>2017-12-11T10:14:38.084171Z</date>
     <paths>
     <path
     kind="file"
     action="M"
     prop-mods="false"
     text-mods="true">/trunk/iota</path>
     </paths>
     <msg>msg1</msg>
     </logentry>
     </logentry>
     </log>
