I'm no expert, but I know there's a long article explaining the mechanics of mergeinfo:
http://www.collab.net/community/subversion/articles/merge-info.html

Quickly scanned through it to see that the * indicates "non-inheritable merginfo", whatever that means ;). It's explained deep down in the section "Mergeinfo Inheritance and Non-Inheritable Ranges".

You might want to read more of that article to really understand ...
