Users with lots of subtree mergeinfo may want to clean it up by
eliding subtree mergeinfo without actually performing a merge.
There seem to be scripts floating around that perform this task.
But there is no "official" solution yet, it seems.
Would it be useful to allow mergeinfo elision to take place outside
the context of a merge? The patch below makes it possible to trigger
mergeinfo elision by running 'svn mergeinfo --elide'.
It seems that the elision algorithm is very basic at the moment,
which prevents this from being really useful. Subversion only elides
mergeinfo which exactly matches the mergeinfo of a parent.
It doesn't perform elision if mergeinfo on the parent covers a
greater range of revisions than the mergeinfo on the child.
Is this deliberate?
For instance:
r3 changed '/branch/gamma'.
This is merged into '/trunk', as follows:
$ svn merge --reintegrate ^/branch/gamma gamma
--- Merging differences between repository URLs into 'gamma':
U gamma/delta
--- Recording mergeinfo for merge between repository URLs into 'gamma':
U gamma
$
Nothing further happens on the branch.
Later, we merge the entire branch (a no-op merge):
$ svn merge --reintegrate ^/branch
--- Recording mergeinfo for merge between repository URLs into '.':
U .
$
Note that no elision took place.
Now we have the following mergeinfo which will not elide:
Properties on '.':
svn:mergeinfo
/branch:2-4
Properties on 'gamma':
svn:mergeinfo
/branch:2-3
The following mergeinfo will elide:
Properties on '.':
svn:mergeinfo
/branch:2-4
Properties on 'gamma':
svn:mergeinfo
/branch:2-4
So the user is required to run no-op merges on subtrees in order
to elide mergeinfo from subtrees. This can be quite tedious.
It should be safe elide mergeinfo from 'gamma' to the root of the
working copy. The mergeinfo on the parent is inheritable and a
superset of the mergeinfo on 'gamma'.
If the elision algorithm supported elision of mergeinfo which
is a proper subset of the mergeinfo in a parent, cleaning up
subtree mergeinfo would become a lot more easier than it is now.
Would it be a good idea to commit this patch and wait for the
elision algorithm to improve? Having 'svn mergeinfo --elide'
might make it a bit easier to perform ad-hoc testing while
improving the algorithm.
This thread on users@ inspired the idea:

[[[
Teach the 'svn mergeinfo' command to elide mergeinfo.
In some situations it can be useful to remove redundant mergeinfo
without actually running a merge.
Add a new option --elide to 'svn mergeinfo' which causes it
to elide mergeinfo instead of displaying it. The new --elide
option is mutually exclusive with the --show-revs option.
* subversion/include/svn_client.h
(svn_client_elide_subtree_mergeinfo): New.
* subversion/svn/cl.h
(svn_cl__opt_state_t): New option ELIDE_MERGEINFO.
* subversion/svn/mergeinfo-cmd.c
(svn_cl__mergeinfo): If the --elide option was given, elide
mergeinfo within the specified working copy path instead
of displaying mergeinfo, and default to depth 'infinity'.
If the working copy path was not given, default to the
current directory.
* subversion/svn/main.c
(svn_cl__longopt_t, svn_cl__options): New option --elide.
(svn_cl__cmd_table): Update help for 'svn mergeinfo'.
(main): Handle new --elide option. Disallow --elide and
--show-revs being used together.
* subversion/libsvn_client/mergeinfo.c
(elide_subtree_mergeinfo_baton, elide_subtree_mergeinfo_cb,
elide_subtree_mergeinfo_locked, svn_client_elide_subtree_mergeinfo): New.
