I have no idea whether the cause was the SVN copy, but the mergeinfo
was in no way related to the files that had been provided in the
contrib area with SVN copy.

The mergeinfo was for other paths ending in contrib/bc in project and
user directories, completely unrelated to what I'm working in.

Anyway, I deleted the mergeinfo from that directory (not the root of
the source tree, of course) and recreated the correct mergeinfo with
"merge --record-only" from the vendor directory.

The resulting mergeinfo looked sane and I have performed the commit.

Thank you for your replies on this topic and best regards, STefan
