Oops, sorry for the misunderstanding; thanks for clearing it up.

Ah, thanks for the pointer. Could you add t/t9150/svk-merge.dump and t/t9151/svn-mergeinfo.dump the the list of files to exclude? Both have the 'hapenning' typo, but both are a dump of some repository and editing it means recomputing sha1sums and whatnot for tests that just isn't worth it. I thought maybe I could get away with correcting those spelling errors but backed out once I saw further knock-on effects.

Thanks for the report and the background and corrections!
Elijah
