It is just because you cannot apply that property to a folder. If you
want to set it recursively, you can still type it in the box and as
long as you check the box to set the value recursively it will allow
it.

As long as the revisions you are merging include the
transaction/revision where the property was set or modified, then it
will be included in the merge.
