in reply to How to merge two different coverage reports remotely
Isn't it possible to create a directory /a/b with a symlink to /x/y/repo so that the paths are actually the same?
Then, you should be able to merge the databases, too.
I was able to make it work, but only for a very simple script. Make sure to backup or commit the coverage reports so you don't have to rerun the scripts every time you discover a problem.
map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
