I say no; we don't print the absolute path on the subsequent file
lines on any command like this. Now, if you *give* an absolute
path rather than the implicit ., it should:

$ svn merge file:///Users/sussman/scratch/mergerepos/branch /tmp/wc
--- Merging revision 4 to '.':
U /tmp/wczcpu.py
--- Merging revisions 6-7 to '.':
U /tmp/wczstring.py

Interesting, svn merge output is inconsistent today. 'svn up
absolute path' prints the absolute paths, but svn merge only
prints the relative paths. You can tell how often i use absolute
paths :).

One of the things p4 gets wrong is spewing absolute paths at me
all the time, making an unreadable mess of the output. Let's not
go down that road.
