As already pointed out, 'svn merge' has the equivalent of 'cvs update
-jTAG1 -jTAG2'. But also, tracking these things is even easier. There
is no need to make a tag for each merge point, only to note the
revision at which it was made. This can be stored in the repository,
in log messages or externally, whatever. The only thing people will
need to know is that "What is the last revision that has already been
merged?" to perform the merge.
