Hi Michael,
Assuming that 'g' (or more likely some other capital letter code) were
used, what you suggest is certainly doable, but do people actually find
that information useful at all? What would one typically do with this
information?
I favor less, but more meaningful output from merge: conflicts and
'real' merges. I put 'g' in the same class as changes to svn:mergeinfo,
reporting these would just add information of questionable* value.
*Of course take all this with the requisite grain of salt, the merges I
do are infrequent and relatively simple, so there may be some real value
in 'g' that my world doesn't typically require...
