If you're looking for perfect software, you'll have to write it yourself. The
spuriously generated mergeinfo is a minor little bug that you can easily work
around. Your data is safe, nothing crashes, nothing hangs.

I'm not even sure it is a bug at all. It may be something dummies like us do
wrong. Like commit, forget to update, merge. Or resolve a conflict in some
unintended way. But at least one other list member has mentioned it's a bug.
And it never happens in the production environment I work in since svn 1.6.

People are confused and write to the list, so some merge data is hurting them
a little.

The heart of the thread is that this is not true for some 1.5 version(s):
some children get (initially empty) explicit mergeinfo attributes, out of the
blue.
