Re: [boost] svnmerge spews all over trac...

I'd say that its the trac plugin. Its picking up the fact that the bugs were
closed on the branch and when it sees the comment again then it tries to
close the bug again. Could the trac plugin be modified to ignore comments
when the string 'svnmerge' is in the log message?

Interesting it didn't spam
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/45019though so trac may be
doing something more complex..

Of course this can be worked around by users if it becomes a problem by
removing the bug numbers from the log messages, although I'd admit its not a
convenient fix and one that'd be easy to forget given the workflow for
svnmerge.py
