SoC Status: Merge tracking auditing (log and blame)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Many of you no doubt have seen the flurry of activity coming from me the
last month or so. School got out early, so I decided to get a jump on
my Summer of Code project, and have hit a couple of early milestones.
I'd like to offer this status report for those that are interested.

The two major goals for my project are (1) 'svn log -g' and
(2) 'svn blame -g', s described in the merge tracking functional spec
(http://subversion.tigris.org/merge-tracking/func-spec.html#commutative-author-and-rev).
 Most of my attention so far has been focused on (1); (2) hasn't seen
much progress, but I'm starting to think about some of the issues involved.

As for 'svn log -g', here what I've done, and what the next steps are:
* Rev required APIs: Done.

* Include merged revisions in log results: Mostly done, but could
                         use some cleanup/review. I plan on going over
                         it in the next few days, but additional eyes
                         are always welcome.

* Write tests: One test is written, but I plan on creating a
                         dump file similar to markphip's test dump file,
                         and writing several more tests based on that.

* Fix bugs: We'll see once the tests are done. :)

* Miscellaneous other stuff (Some of this will come out as the tests get
  written):
  * JavaHL support
  * Verify log message ordering
  * Add child log messages to CLI xml output

My plan is to be largely done with 'svn log -g' in the next couple of
weeks, and then to begin on 'svn blame -g'. I will be largely AFK for
the first couple of weeks in July (though I may check my email on occasion.)

Thanks to Dan, Mark, and others who've helped thus far on this project.
