Do you have any suggestions on how to do this across an entire repository? I
just did this for my working copy trunk using "svn -R propdel svn:mergeinfo"
but I figured there is a probably away to do it to the entire repository in
one swoop.

I looked at doing it by passing the repos url to the propdel command but
this apparently is an unversioned property change? I'm not familiar with
this concept, but I do know that I'd like to be able to see in our version
history that I deleted all these properties.

Thanks again,
Bradley
