Description Daniel Bates 2010-09-04 16:18:42 PDT
Following up from comment 7 in bug 44336 <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44336#c7>, we should implement support for recognizing the svn:mergeinfo property so that patches that contain such information can be applied.

Patch with unit tests

Adds support for recognizing the svn:mergeinfo property and ignore it.

Because svn:mergeinfo is metadata that is used only by SVN and tends to be error-prone and/or nuisance (see remark (*)), we will ignore it for now. That is, when applying a patch that contains svn:mergeinfo info the changes to the svn:mergeinfo property will not be applied.

(*) See "Parting Thoughts" of <http://www.collab.net/community/subversion/articles/merge-info.html>.

I should add that I don't really use svn merge and hence could be biased on its benefit. I am open to suggestions on whether we should keep this information.
