What do you mean by pre-commit reviews? Maybe you should use create
patch? That shows the property changes in the content and might make
it easier to sift through.

I saw your post on the SVN users@ list and while I did not read it
carefully, you are not experiencing anything that most other merge
tracking users have not reported. You have to (or at least should)
commit these mergeinfo changes with the content. SVN 1.7 is going to
reduce the noise. In 1.6, the only way to reduce it is to eliminate
nodes that have mergeinfo and try to get it consolidated at your
project root. Then encourage users to do all merges and commits from
the project root so that it does not come back.
