I guess that I'm thinking "svn:mergeinfo" is more of an automatically maintained internal detail to aid in merge tracking. Seems a bit different than other properties like ignore or externals that are more closely related to the actual content of my code-base. Wrong? Too late to request an "--ignore-housekeeping" option to svn diff for 1.8? :-) > > > 3.

Did these files also receive mergeinfo changes perhaps? No, those files do not have any mergeinfo at all. At least for the couple I checked. They do have changes brought in by the merge, though. Does this make any sense?
