Andrew and Sam are the people to ask about mergeinfo, but I've found reading logs valuable for tracking down many issues in the past. I'm not 100% convinced mergeinfo itself is the problem (but it's the code I'm least familiar with), and there were also some changes with globbing (which I believe were harmless improvements). -- Eric Wong
