Feedback is welcome. This file documents the results of a couple of
discussions that kfogel and I had.

In a nutshell, 'svn merge' is flawed. It's using a diff3 algorithm
to merge file-text, but is blindly applying propdiffs. To solve
issue #2035, I'm going to teach libsvn_wc to use a diff3 algorithm
when merging propchanges as well.
