Sounds good.

Also sounds good.

I know neither perl nor python, so if that happened I would not
be able to contribute to or maintain the script. But if there is
enough interest from others to do so then I'd be happy handing
over that responsibility.

Patch looks good, please commit if you are ready to.

Also, since you are doing bidirectional merges, etc., I'm interested
in any feedback on the previous commit (which filters out "implicit"
merges of the "svnmerge-integrated" property).

Cheers,
