We are using svn 1.6 for a few weeks. Since then we faced the problem of the mergeinfo changing in files different from those that people were actually committing. We found out that we should always commit from the same level to stop this to happen.
All good. I presume that we should have svn:mergeinfo property only on the root of the branch we are merging too, correct? It happens that several sub-folders in the branch that weren't touched, contain mergeinfo property with revisions that ahve nothing to do with that folder. I had thought that some commits done from the root would change and clear up the mergeinfo of subfolder, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Could someone please clarify how this clearing of mergeinfo works? Another question: we do revision based merging, promoting stories/goals not necessarily in the same order they were committed in the trunk. Besides helping in tracing the changes in the branch the the original logs, is there any other utility in having the mergeinfo information? regards Emerson
