I just love quoting out of context...
Seriously, I meant to keep the proposal simple. For cherry picking
there is clearly a solution. The means to record the data for it
is already in the proposal. The same goes for out of tree, or unrelated
tree merging (although I need to work that out I do have something
on my desk for that).
Not doing tree deltas in the proposal is simply because the same
rules apply for them as for normal text files. The merge history
can be recorded in the svn:merged-from property on the directories
the same way as we do for files. Consider a directory to be a
textfile containing filenames ;). [in practice we have real code
to deal with tree deltas, but the idea is pretty much the same]
