Yes, but not before 1.0. We track more history than we use,
currently. Getting Merge Right is an ancient and venerable
topic on this list
I'm confused here because I thought svn _already_ had a more positive
answer to that question. Is it possible that you misunderstood the
question?
Supposing I form a branch and, within the branch-from revision, rename
`foo.c' to `bar.c'. In the branched-from area, `bar.c' continues to
evolve. Is it really the case that you currently provide no automated
mechanism to apply the `bar.c' changes to my `foo.c'? Or for that
matter to merge the renames from branched-from to branched-to?
