RE: Strange merge behaviour

svn status now shows some modified elements, and if I look at them with svn diff, I get something like

Property changes on: path/to/file
___________________________________________________________________
Modified: svn:mergeinfo
   Merged /project/trunk/path/to/file:r1234

Why is this and how can I get rid of this strange behaviour?

Comments:
Each and every event in a project get a revision number, and a merge is definitely an event that gets recorded by SVN. SVN tries to be omniscient within a project so even if the code isn't changing in a merge event, the increment in revision number and the reason behind the increment still needs to get recorded.

I don't think you'll be able to get rid of that behavior unless you change your strategy for making personal backups.

Best,
