Is there a way to turn TortoiseSVN using svn:mergeinfo off?

Question

When I\'m doing a TortoiseSVN merge, it includes a bunch of directories, and some files into the modified files, even though there are no actual changes.

It changes

Answer 1

We removed it recursively on our project because just about all files had this info which made mergeing very annoying (if only one file had been altered, all files had to be merged). From now on we'll only merge on the root, which should avoid this situation in the future.

It hasn't given us any problems so far. Logging is still available on files and seems to be the same (but do it at your own risk anyway!).

Oh, we did it on our trunk, just before making a new branch. This way, we can start from a clean slate.
