I narrowed it down to the code in subversion/libsvn_subr/mergeinfo.c line
892-898 in adjust_remaining_ranges. At that point next_range actually starts
before modified_range, so my guess is svn_sort__array_insert has some
unexpected behaviour.
x892 svn_merge_range_t *new_modified_range =
x
x893 apr_palloc(result_pool,
sizeof(*new_modified_range));
x
x894 new_modified_range->start = next_range->end;
x
x895 new_modified_range->end = modified_range->end;
x
x896 new_modified_range->inheritable = FALSE;
x
x897 modified_range->end = next_range->start;
x
x898 (*range_index)+=2;
x
>x899 svn_sort__array_insert(rangelist,
&new_modified_range,
x
*range_index);
x
x901 /* Recurse with the new range. */
x
x902 adjust_remaining_ranges(rangelist, range_index,
result_pool);
x
Intuitively it seems to be awfully complicated to expand a range to the end of
a change, and then cut it down recursively with adjust_remaining_ranges. My
first thought would be to step through "rangelist" and "changes" side by side
in svn_rangelist_merge2, and to modify, insert or skip a range in either list
until you're at the end. Though obviously I have no idea about all the edge
cases the current code most likely fixes...
So how should I proceed from here? Should I open a bug with my findings and the
test case?

The problem seems to come from svn_rangelist_merge2.
This test program recreates the problem.
#include <svn_pools.h>
#include <svn_mergeinfo.h>
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
apr_pool_t *pool;
int exit_code = EXIT_SUCCESS;
svn_error_t *err;
if (svn_cmdline_init("svn", stderr) != EXIT_SUCCESS)
return EXIT_FAILURE;
pool = apr_allocator_owner_get(svn_pool_create_allocator(FALSE));
//
15014-19472,19473-19612*,19613-19614,19615-19630*,19631-19634,19635-20055*
svn_rangelist_t * rangelist = apr_array_make(pool, 1,
sizeof(svn_merge_range_t *));
svn_merge_range_t *mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
mrange->start = 15013;
mrange->end = 19472;
mrange->inheritable = TRUE;
APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
mrange->start = 19472;
mrange->end = 19612;
mrange->inheritable = FALSE;
APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
mrange->start = 19612;
mrange->end = 19614;
mrange->inheritable = TRUE;
APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
mrange->start = 19614;
mrange->end = 19630;
mrange->inheritable = FALSE;
APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
mrange->start = 19630;
mrange->end = 19634;
mrange->inheritable = TRUE;
APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
mrange->start = 19634;
mrange->end = 20055;
mrange->inheritable = FALSE;
APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
// 15014-20515*
svn_rangelist_t * changes = apr_array_make(pool, 1,
sizeof(svn_merge_range_t *));
mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
mrange->start = 15013;
mrange->end = 20515;
mrange->inheritable = FALSE;
APR_ARRAY_PUSH(changes, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
{
svn_string_t * tmpString;
svn_rangelist_to_string(&tmpString, rangelist, pool);
printf("rangelist %s\n", tmpString->data);
}
{
svn_string_t * tmpString;
svn_rangelist_to_string(&tmpString, changes, pool);
printf("changes %s\n", tmpString->data);
}
svn_rangelist_merge2(rangelist, changes, pool, pool);
{
svn_string_t * tmpString;
svn_rangelist_to_string(&tmpString, rangelist, pool);
printf("result %s\n", tmpString->data);
}
// wrong result
// result
15014-19472,19473-19612*,19613-19614,19615-19630*,19634-19631*,19631-19634,19635-20515*
svn_pool_destroy(pool);
return exit_code;
}
So while this correctly expands the last range from 20055 to 20515 it inserts a
wrong inverse range. It’s a bit late, I’ll have a look tomorrow unless someone
beats me to it. ;)
