I might be misunderstanding Mark, but I think he is referring only to
svn:mergeinfo?
If so this is somewhat of a separate issue. Currently we do treat the
svn:mergeinfo prop as special and don't notify regarding changes to it
(hmmm, not sure if this always true but I think it is ATM). I'm not
sure if this was by design, I see nothing in the specs that indicates it
was, perhaps Dan or Kamesh can speak to this? Regardless I think the
current behavior is correct, svn:mergeinfo changes show up in status
(they are after all properties), but I wouldn't want to see them in the
output of svn merge since I see them more as meta-(meta?)-data on the
merge rather than part of it.
