Please re-post it after the release :) There's no way I will ever
remember, although I think it's a good idea and I really want to see it
done.

I do recall that repeated branch merging was a nightmare (better than CVS but admittedly not as good as mercurial/git). Just curious.

svn doesn't support moving files around (i.e "mv"), there is an option
called move in svn but it's essentially a copy followed by a delete,
which essentially means patches will try to apply on the "deleted" files
which will of course end with a clash.
