That is a little bit more worrisome. It could turn out to be fine
because you use a structured release engineering process and the
branching model you are using does not currently require this
information, but it does not feel right. At a minimum, you will lose
the log/blame -g feature as it needs to see the svn:mergeinfo
committed with the merge to know what was merged from where.

I thought you did a one-time "after the fact" cleanup. This would not
have broken log/blame because the cleanup would have happened in a
different revision than the commit.
