That's svn:mergeinfo. Since merge tracking is at file granularity, if
you ever do a merge operation on anything other than the root of a
branch, the file or directory in question gets its own copy of
svn:mergeinfo, which then must be kept up to date until the end of
time.

If you don't want the clutter and overhead, you have to make a habit of
merging only from/to the root of a branch. And remember to 'svn
propdel svn:mergeinfo filename' after every 'svn cp' or 'svn mv'.
