Hi all,

I got an failing assertion in Tortoise when doing a [Test Merge].

What have I done?:

I prepared a merge on a directory containing Doxygen configuration files 
(maybe not usefull, but I did it).
Then I choose options: "Merge a range of revisions" / "all revisions" / 
"Compare whitespaces"
Then I started [Test merge]

-> this leads into the following exception:

---------------------------
Subversion Exception!
---------------------------
Subversion encountered a serious problem.
Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list
with as much information as possible about what
you were trying to do.
But please first search the mailing list archives for the error message
to avoid reporting the same problem repeatedly.
You can find the mailing list archives at
https://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists.html

Subversion reported the following
(you can copy the content of this dialog
to the clipboard using Ctrl-C):

In file
 
'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.14.5\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_client\merge.c'
 line 4994: assertion failed (*gap_start < *gap_end)
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

Remark:

if I run [Merge] instead of [Test Merge] then NO exception appears. 
And Merge ends in my case with the following message:

"Error: 'SOURCE' must 
Error:  be ancestrally related to 
Error:  'TARGET'"

The error ("must ancestrally related to") is my known issue, of coarse. But 
I did not expect to get an failing assertion in this case.

Further information:

A "Test Merge" with svn command line interface using option --dry-run on 
the same source and target doeas NOT lead to an failing assertion. Only the 
known missing relation was pointed out. Means it seems NOT to be a 
subversion issue but a Tortoise issue.

Hope this helps to fix the failing assertion. 

Best regards
Matz
