OK, here's what I did:
1. Updated (added) the mergeinfo properties manually to trunk/skin in
WC
2. Merged one revision from /branches/3.1/skin to /trunk/skin (to get
the child properties to elide)
3. Verified that mergeinfo properties were elided on all child nodes
(subfolders and files)
4. Committed that merge to /trunk
5. Merged range of revisions that were ready to merge from branches/
3.1 to /trunk
And the wonderful news is that it worked! I successfully merged all
my latest revisions.
So you have one happy camper here!

Yes, I did already read that page and even though I have never used
command line, and a lot of it was over my head, it was still extremely
useful and helped me grasp the logic of the way merge tracking/
mergeinfo works

That is an excellent post. It should be added to your FAQ as there
seems to be a lot of questions about it.

Now that is a very useful tip which I could not find in the Help File
regarding Merge Reintegrate. In fact, there is very little info on
Record only. To be certain I understand you clearly, is this what I
should do?
1. Merge Reintegrate a feature branch to Trunk
2. On WC of Branch, merge from /trunk - record only
3. Choose the revision # of the merge reintegrate
Does it matter what type of merge I choose? Should I merge using the
branch folder or from root or does it matter?
BTW, I noticed some people use http. We have been using https. Is
there any difference in merge performance between them?
