You want to look at the delta editor api. And Perl is the only bindings support
driving and consuming the delta editor calls for modifying trees.

and svk happens to be such a client written with the perl bindings that allows
you to merge without a wc. you can port changes painlessly with:

  svk merge -c234 //project/trunk //project/releng/1.0

If the merge has conflicts you will be prompted to accept theirs or yours, or
launch external merge tools.
