I do not think the answer to this is to change our command behavior or
add a bunch of new switches. I'd rather see us focus on storing the
mergeinfo in some new kind of metadata that is not properties. If we
continue to use properties, then IMHO, the info should still show up
in some form. With a new WC, it would be a lot easier to store this
information differently. Of course it would require a change in the
repository and other layers too.
