Set aside merge tracking for a second. Do you think there would be
any need for this feature? If not, then it seems like the option
ought to be about specifically excluding the svn:mergeinfo property
and nothing else. Something like --ignore-mergeinfo or
--no-mergeinfo.
I still worry a bit about including it in svn status. I see the value
of it, but I worry people will use it too much and then forget to
commit those mergeinfo changes because they were not seeing it. I
suppose as long as it is a command line option, and not a setting in
config, that is not likely to be a problem though.
