Why? The svn:mergeinfo property just kept track of what revisions have been merged from a given branch. If I delete the branch the information is useless, but there is no automatic cleanup of that property. > What I think you *can* do is an "svnadmin dump | svndumpfilter exclude > (obsolete branches) | svnadmin load" to another Subversion repo, and > switch to that repo to have a modified history. I don’t want to alter history. I want the older branches around so they can be browsed and inspected for history. I just want to clean up the svn:mergeinfo property so it’s easier to read. I would love for one of the Subversion developers to chime in here... Alfred
