mergeinfo properties getting carried around, makes for confusing merges

(Subversion 1.5.4)

Every time I do a merge from 1 branch to another, there's a set of files
that have their mergeinfo properties updated but nothing else. It's
incredibly annoying, since it means when I look at commit history, I
can't tell what really changed in a commit and what just got mergeinfo
properties updated.

Is this really normal behavior?

It's possible that in the past someone (maybe even me) wasn't consistent
with doing merges without+with --ignore-ancestry. Could that have
caused this?

I wonder if there was some merge in the past that wasn't done right that
is causing this to keep happening. Can I get rid of this behavior maybe
by deleting all the mergeinfo properties from all files (sort of
starting clean)?

Thoughts? Thanks...
