Removing all mergeinfo from trunk

[Martin Bischoff <ti...@gmail.com>]

Like a lot of other people, I was experiencing the problem that (when
merging) a lot of files (without change in their content) are being
displayed as modified because of the mergeinfo that is automatically
updated.

We have recently updated to subversion 1.6.2 and we are currently in the
situation that we will (probably) never have to merge/reintegrate again
between the currently existing branches and trunk.
For these reasons, I'd like to cleanup the mergeinfo on trunk to prevent (or
reduce) these problems for future branches. In other words, I'd like to
remove any mergeinfo from trunk.

My questions are:
- is this a bad idea (did I miss something essential)?
- is there an easy/automatic way to do this, e.g. using a batch file (on
windows)?

Thanks for your help.

I can't really comment on the first question, as I have no experience with it (nor in-depth knowledge). But if you're going to clean up mergeinfo, following post by Geoff Rowell might help:

(haven't tried it myself though, just saw the post a couple of weeks ago)
