Putting the blocking and unblocking feature back to 1.6 doesn't seem like a good
idea. It does seem like a basic feature we would want. Is it that much work to
slip it back to 1.6?

The workaround seems clumsy to me:

"Until this is implemented, the work around is to use 'svn merge --record-only'
to block/unblock revisions from merging, and keep a separate list of revisions
which are to later be considered "blocked". It would be possible to keep such a
list in another Subversion property like "blocked-revisions" to avoid the need
for separate storage."

People are going to modify svnmerge.py to do this :) It would be nice to remove
the need completely for svnmerge.py in 1.5.

Blair
