Hmm, so you are proposing that the svn:mergeinfo property for path P
at revision R contains information specifically about what happens at
revision R?

If this really is a normal svn property, does that not imply that when
revision R+1 is committed, no matter where on the tree that is, we
also have to clear out all the svn:mergeinfo properties committed in
revision R?
