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).
