Christian and I talked about it earlier today, and there seems to be
something weird about this particular file, somehow introduced in
[8206]. It may be a bug in Subversion, or a leftover from a bad merge.

AFAIK, we're still using svnmerge.py for merging between 0.11-stable and
trunk. Christian has been using "svn merge" for merging from
rework-testing and to multirepos, and this has created the svn:mergeinfo
properties. However, I don't think he's actually using that property,
but keeping track by hand.

So I'd suggest continuing to use svnmerge.py as usual, with the revert
on Makefile.cfg.sample.
