Merging from the root is Boost's recommended practice, and is not
painful at all if you're using a recent version of svn. Prefer to do it
that way.

You can merge many changesets to release at once using:

svn merge -c 1111 -c 2222 -c 3333 ^/trunk

where 1111, 2222, etc are the numbers of the changesets. (I didn't know
about the ^/trunk syntax until just now, and I've never used it, but I
will now. Thanks, Daniel.)
