Re: Unexpected mergeinfo properties

Hello Heiko,

I have been also asking some months ago and I have been told
that this is an subversion problem and we have to wait for next
subversion version. I remember TortoiseSVN somewhere around
1.5.3 (+/- 0.0.1) there the problem has not been present. Since
next version then NOTHING has changed to solve this problem. I can
do a merge and when committing I get a big mass of unrelated
changed in properties (merge tracking).

The only solution I know to get with this is to sort by text
modifications
selecting those entries only. After the commit I have to do a revert
of the checkout to get rid of the other stuff. Would be fine if the
TortoiseSVN
guys could tell a little about the problem also they are providing a
front "only".

Also an important hint is to reduce the selection. Don't use the root
to merge
and commit when it's possible to use a folder somewhere in the depth.
This
reduced the amount of unrelated files and folder notedly.
