My 2 cents would be that I do not see the need or value.  The ls
command is only showing a single version of each path, I do not see
how you could show merge info.  If you want to see the history of a
path, then use the svn log -g command.

What if the most recent change to the file was a regular commit, but
the previous change was the merge?  What if the last change was the
commit of a merge but there were 4 different revisions by 4 different
authors.  I do not see how ls is supposed to represent that.

The command to inspect the history of a path is svn log, not svn ls.
Add the -g option to log if you want to include merge information.
