As I described in an earlier post, I have a trunk and a branch completely clean of svn:mergeinfo properties and then when I update my branch with the latest trunk a bunch of svn:mergeinfo properties get added to a sparse set of files. All the posts I have read ask people to cleanup all svn:mergeinfo in the trunk and then start branching from it. I have done so but the properties keep reappearing, and this is really confusing for me.

You have likely been sent this link already, but it explains the
scenarios where mergeinfo is created:
