------- Additional Comments from Daniel Bates <dbates at webkit.org>
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.
