If you're using 1.7 it shouldn't be all that bad anymore, see http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html#subtree-mergeinfo-recording Quite a lot has built up. We're not using 1.7 yet. I am doing preliminary testing/upgrading scripts etc. I will also delete all non-root merge info. My hope is to get to a situation where mergeinfo only exists on the root as we always merge from the root. 1.7 will help things I am sure but it still seems that mergeinfo will probably still creep in due to per-file merges to resolve tree conflicts where people forget to check 'ignore ancestry', and through repobrowser renaming. I am hoping 1.8 will resolve the first of these issues.
