> And a little Question regarding merging and properties - in the scenario I described - every time I merge + commit the test.txt file is marked as changed (even if sometimes no text is changed within this file) - it always shows that the svn:mergeinfo property has changed - I guess this behavior is right? (just a bit disruptive to always have to commit lot's of files because their properties changed - even if nothing happened to the file)

Merge methods and the application of svn:mergeinfo is done using the
subversion libraries so you have to ask this on the subversion users
mailing list. Just to check, are you using the latest version of
client and server? Some of the mergeinfo change was reduced in the
1.6. release.
