I'm not overly thrilled with the idea of shipping a GPLed script in
our installer. At this point, all the functionality we ship is under
a BSDish license (well, with the exception of the bdb filesystem, but
you can leave that out), if we start shipping svnmerge.py all of a
sudden part of the functionality is is only available if you're ok
with the GPL. It's one thing to have contrib scripts that are GPL,
another to include it in the installer, IMO.
