That's good to hear. Since I've only used SVN on that job I'd suspect my 
problems could be related to the way the repository was used, or misused 
as the case may be. Although there is a documented deficiency with SVN 
not using the branch and revision history to do the merge.

It's one of those things we should watch out for. Not one of those that 
would prevent us from moving to SVN ;-)
