I'm sorry, but I'm not going to use svnmerge.py anytime soon.
Firstly, I don't have the python bindings installed as I don't have a
recent enough SWIG for Subversion's liking. Secondly, there are no
instructions in HACKING on how to use it that I can find.

IMHO, svnmerge.py should cope gracefully when people can't use it.
That's a critical requirement for any 'merge tracking' tool even when
we roll it out with 1.5: we're not going to be able to force everyone
to update their client to use these new features. -- justin
