We can drop the "unless": if all his/her users were like that, I'm sure
he/she would be too and this thread would not have started. So you're
saying to those annoyed by changing mergeinfo on files, that it's more
likely the mergeinfo is important.

I contest that. As far as I know, the only way to kick off genuine
mergeinfo on a file is by merging that particular file. I think few
users realize you can "officially" merge a subdirectory or a particular
file, let alone do it to many files.
