Well I'm not sure what we're doing wrong then, because we
see quite a bit of it - doing 'avail' from our trunk to our live
branch at the moment, roughly 16% of the available revisions
are 'Initialized merge tracking' (we have 36 branches just now).

I've attached a simple script which will reproduce it - it'll destroy
and create a repository and working directory in the directory it's
run from, so please don't run it from anywhere important!

The script creates a trunk and two branches (both set up for
bi-directional merges), makes a change in one branch, merges
it back to trunk, and then does an 'avail' from the other. The
available changes include the initialisation of the first branch.

Hopefully the script will explain what I mean, or maybe throw
light on something we might be doing wrong.

Have fun,

Rich
