But still in my eyes it is a bit strange
If i delete the merge info property from that file then it wont add it
anymore
and then i guess in further merges it also wouldnt be a problem because else
subversion would add the property always to all my files
But because i guess at one point i did a merge really on those files now
they are updated all the time even if i do it from the root.
I still find that a bit weird because if i didnt do that and always just
merge from the root then those properties are not missed at all.
But i will just delete the properties
thx for explaining
