Hi Dimitry,

I did some searching around and it turns out that "svn mergeinfo
--show-revs eligible" can be used to get a list of commits that "svn
merge" would in fact try to merge back. By then running "svn merge" at
the root of the repository with that list of commits, I was able to
merge this back in such a way that the mergeinfo remains at the top of
the tree.

I've completed the merge in r335059. Thanks for your input Dimitry!

Best regards,
