When you merge using svnmerge it uses svn to do the actual merge so
you get both. For an example, see the property changes on:

I came across it last night, it's is at:

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/svnmerge/svnmerge-migrate-history.py

I think it has to be run on the server. Although, it wouldn't be too
hard to do it manually.

But I was trying to concentrate on how (or I suppose if) we're going
to use subversion's native merge. We can deal with the historical data
once we've decided that.
