Message ahh thx

yes it is the property

So every file that has that property will be updated everytime i do a merge
even on the root?

So if i say merge the project and like: trunk/myproject -> branchx/myproject
then the merge info of the project is ofcourse set/updated
But also all the files in that project that have the mergeinfo property?
Even if they are not touched not changed in this specific merge?
Why is that?

(i can think about the file that is merged that that will have a mergeinfo
property so that you can see later on that that file is merged with
branch:version at a time)
