Thanks for making this happen. FWIW, I've just did this:

$ svn merge --record-only https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/program_options .

and then:

$ time svn merge ^/trunk/libs/program_options

real    0m7.333s
user    0m0.200s
sys     0m0.036s

This is definitely much better than direct diff of two branches -- necessary
in past. (Note that I have 1.6 client, the "^/" syntax is new in 1.6)

Just in case, before running 'merge --record-only', it's best to run diff first
to make sure everything is indeed merged.

Thanks,
Volodya
