Ben, we thought that out together a while back IIRC.

The svn copy 'bug' you mean? When doing a copy, there should be a textbase
afterwards, agreed?

The merge code just uses the copy code. Fix that and these bugs will go
away.

Ofcourse, someone else might have a different approach in mind. I mean,
there must be some reason for svn cp URL wc not to create a text-base?
