Thanks for the pointer. I'm currently investigating a migration to svn 
merge for our projects.

Please note that the mergeinfo from svnmerge.py is mostly broken due to 
lots of manual sub-tree merges. And we have to make sure everyone making 
merges uses svn-1.6. I recall that svn-1.5.5 (?) had some serious 
bugs...
And trunk and release a drifting apart quite fast. maybe a re-branch 
every couple of releases ? 

Yours,

Jürgen
