I assume there's mergeinfo on that file and that it's causing merge 
conflicts?

Is there any use in having mergeinfo on files and directories in the 
trunk? The only place I know of where mergeinfo is useful is on branch 
roots. Are there other uses for mergeinfo?

Could we institute a policy of keeping mergeinfo out of the trunk? Is 
that the kind of thing we could implement as a commit trigger?
