svnmerge breaks down when you want to do bi-directional merges.
Briefly, there is a loss of information when you do an "svnmerge merge",
because the automatic merge is mixed together with any subsequent
changes you make before the commit (e.g. to resolve conflicts). To
support a bi-directional merge, you need to be able to separate those
two parts.
