That's interesting. So you have something relatively similar happening, where svn:mergeinfo reappears after deleting it? It could be related I guess. > > And then the original bunch of 60 odd files get the svn:mergeinfo > property added. > > Maybe because amongst the unmerged revisions are old changesets that > include updates to the svn:mergeinfo property of these files?

Yes, the trunk is clean, I actually ran this on it: svn propdel svn:mergeinfo -R and then I branched off, and the branch didn't have any svn:mergeinfo properties set on it. In fact, it's not once or twice, I've gone through this several times already for several feature branches, and every time the same thing happens: branch clean, update branch with clean trunk, svn:mergeinfo appears. > Maybe someone copied old revisions of files and their mergeinfo into > this clean trunk?

It is really a mystery, and I am beginning to think there's something wrong with my svn repo on the server, maybe it's corrupted in some way. Thanks! Carles
