Ok, but that default style is really tough on the eyes when dealing
with subtrees and mergeinfo. Run 'svn pg svn:mergeinfo -R' on the
root of the 1.5.x branch to see what I mean. In contrast run 'svn pg
svn:mergeinfo -vR'. The latter is much more useful when you want to
quickly understand what subtrees have mergeinfo; it's not perfect, but
at least it doesn't induce a migraine :-)

Hmmm, this makes me think that a --quiet option to svn pg might be nice too:

C:\SVN\src-branch-1.5.x>svn pg svn:mergeinfo -Rvq
Property svn:mergeinfo set on '.': svn:mergeinfo
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'notes\tree-conflicts\scratch-pad.txt'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'www\images\subversion_logo_hor-468x64.png'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'subversion\bindings\swig'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'COMMITTERS'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'www\images\subversion_logo-384x332.png'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'subversion\libsvn_subr'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'subversion\libsvn_wc\adm_ops.c'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'CHANGES'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'subversion\tests\cmdline\svntest\actions.py'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'subversion\libsvn_client\merge.c'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'subversion\include\private'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'www\images\subversion-diagram.png'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'www\images\subversion_logo-200x173.png'
Property svn:mergeinfo set on 'aclocal.m4'

But I digress...
