is this mergeinfo redundant?

Hi,

I'm currently consolidating the mergeinfo records on our main
development branch and am looking at some weird record here...

Reduced the case to the following example -

Repository root/
     Project1
         trunk
             src
                 SDKs
                     libxml2
         branches
             Project1variant1
                 src
                     SDKs
                         libxml2

the Project1variant1 branch was created from Project1/trunk at revision
184222.
Now I'm looking at the mergeinfo records on
Project1/branches/Project1variant1/src/SDKs/libxml2 and see revisions
which are < 184222:
/Project1/trunk/src/SDKs/libxml2:171866-172245,172247-172328,172330-172459,172461-172530,172532-172595,172597-172674,172676-172942,[...]

Am I right in assuming that these mergeinfo ranges could be removed,
because there's really no point in how they could be valid entries, no?
I mean the branch didn't exist in either of these revisions yet and
before the construction of the branch they would simply note that the
revisions were merged into themselves... Doesn't make much sense to me
at all.

Regards,
Stefan
