Long svn:mergeinfo on SVN directory properties

It looks like every branch reintegration to trunk has caused an extra entry to be added in the trunk's svn:mergeinfo property. Is this SVN behavior or TortoiseSVN - and is there anything bad about it? I didn't think SVN used properties as a core part of functionality, only for additional things, so I was a bit surprised to see it.

svn:mergeinfo is the property used by more recent versions of SVN to track which branches/revisions have been merged into a particular stream. This allows you not to have to think about it when doing said merges. The SVN Book is a pretty good resource!

I'm pretty sure this isn't a TortoiseSVN thing.
