We've been using 1.5 in production all year without problems.

Two points.

1. The merge data doesn't hurt anything (some perf issues that are to be resolved in 1.7). As someone else already said if you merge from the root project folder the merge info won't propagate to all the child files and folders. In other words always merge to /trunk as the target from the branches root.

2. If you are merging in from a temporary branch that will be deleted, you don't really need the merge info on trunk. So after you do your merge, revert all the mergeinfo before you commit the merge.
