Well, we'd need to know more details before saying for sure, but see
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#mt-compatibility
(it may answer your question).

Upgrading the server will *not* automatically go back and add the
svn:mergeinfo property to any old revisions. This has various
implications, most of which don't seem to be documented well enough in
the Release Notes :-). We'd like to improve that, and understanding
your scenario may help us do so...
