What I meant when I referred to svn:ignore was that if we want to make
it clear that merge info was being tracked, it might be worthwhile
having that show up separately from other directory property changes,
like svn:ignore, at least in status output. Sure, the diff shows you
that it's an ignore change, but the status just shows up like any
other propchange.
