The other day I noticed that the 'svn mergeinfo' command passes
'discover_changed_paths = TRUE' to svn_client_mergeinfo_log(), although
it doesn't need this information. Expecting to improve performance, I
changed the parameter to FALSE and found that the result was actually
slower. Looking further now, I see that the result is different.
Example: svn mergeinfo --show-revs=eligible
^/subversion/branches/1.7.x@1154862 ^/subversion/trunk@1154862
with svn_client_mergeinfo_log(discover_changed_paths=TRUE):
r1150779
r1151037
...
r1154720
r1154734
with svn_client_mergeinfo_log(discover_changed_paths=TRUE):
r1148717
r1148828
...
r1150779
r1151037
...
r1154720
r1154734
