Oops, yes, I definitely meant feature branches only. The release
branches can stay as they are. I was half asleep when I wrote that

Exactly, it is only during WC-to-WC copy/moves with <= 1.5.4 that are
the problem. Note that doing repos-to-wc or repos-to-repos copy/moves
don't avoid the problem as those still create what amounts to often
meaningless mergeinfo on the destination. Reducing/eliminating that
is something I'm looking into.

+1 on the recent (and any forthcoming) reintegrate fixes. I'm less
certain about the copy/move changes, those really aren't bug fixes.
