Comment:

 I '''strongly suggest''' that we avoid advising users to manually edit the
 svn:mergeinfo property.  Besides the obvious issues of folks screwing up
 the syntax of the property, there are more complex issues.  The
 svn:mergeinfo property, when managed by Subversion, is normalized in such
 a way that it only contains ''real'' repository filesystem path/rev
 locations.  This is crucial to tracking renames successfully in the face
 of renamed branches, branches of branches, etc.  'svn merge --record-only'
 deals with these scenarios correctly.
